My CLion license expires in a week, and i won't be renewing it. This means it's time to switch to a new editor. I've been looking at #
helix - written in #
rust, nice modal interface, seems to want to do things "The Right Way(TM)".
Anyone care to share their experience?

•I am not used to vim, this will be my first serious use of a modal editor. I set it up just to see it, it seems to cover the basic things i want from clion. What i mostly care about is easy navigation to library sources. If it can also work with the kernel source tree, that's a huge bonus.
Helix it is.

•Haven't tried with the linux sources yet. I am curious to see how it handles the rust kernel tree.
