Helix is NeoVim / Kakoune inspired, not mere clone.

This is not a question but I see to many posts in reddit and discussions here like 'why doesn't x doesn't do y' kind of stuff. I am merely an end user, so just putting my 2 cents here.

In my humble opinion, Helix does not have to be exact replica of something else. It can be excellent in its own way. I feel it already is by the way. I understand that most of such posts are intended to make Helix better (to them), but it just feels that folks who want them to be that way are just fed up from other editors which take significant configuration and they break often due to issues like non maintenance of plugin, etc.

I might get lots of downvotes for this post, but I believe there might be a few folks at least who would agree with me.

Thanks for reading.

Best regards.
