ELI5 — The Vibe Check
Helix takes vim's modal editing and flips it: instead of verb-then-noun (delete word), it's noun-then-verb (select word, then delete). This means you always see what you're operating on before you act — much less 'oh god what did I just delete.' Built-in Tree-sitter and LSP, no plugin manager, ships batteries-included.
