I like "simple" editors: just text, completion when I ask for it (instead of popping up all the time), no distracting UI chrome, simple syntax highlights, etc. "Simple" is a bit of a misleading term, because even "stock Vim" (or Neovim) has a lot of IDE-like features. They just don't get in your way by default.
I tried VSCode, and after several hours I still hadn't turned off all the features that I found undesirable.
For me, personally, that nvchad thing seems horrendous. I don't know about Helix; maybe it's better, but I can't be arsed to check it out as I don't expect any productivity jump to be worth the effort.
