I'm still trying out different editors from time to time. I always feel like they are lacking in some way in comparison to Emacs. Like, when there's no key binding to focus the list of references, or one cannot navigate to the beginning of a block, or one cannot navigate by subword. Let's not forget sexp. Cannot live without it. Or marks, for that matter. Or proper clipboard history that is properly searchable. It's like the developers has not seen the light yet. Most editors are very mouse driven, and maybe does not focus enough on actual code navigation. I'm biased of course. Though, Helix seems cool.

Side note: Even though I use Emacs, I have nothing against Vim. Heck, I even use it every now and then.
