As a dev I’ve been on both sides to be honest. Especially when there is pressure to finish the next task. I think it needs good planning to create enough time for these things.

In the end bad devs will still shut you up about things they are not interested in fixing…

Nice! I started using helix before vim and often I find the helix bindings more logical (like shift for the reverse action e.g. u for undo and U for redo). However often the vim bindings feel quicker (c-i-w vs m-i-w-c). Will definitely give it a go!
