I have recently made the switch from vscode to helix and after one day of struggle it has been a joy. The setup was simple and the overall design philosophy is great.

The main thing that is missing for me is a way to browse/move/copy/rename files. I still use vscode for those operations. I can understand that this is not the main focus of helix for the moment.




A contributor of Helix is working on the implementation of a file tree view [1]. However, the contributor seems busy at the moment.
