Post-modern modal editor, batteries included
Plain outbound link — no affiliate parameters, no tracking redirects.
~ Provisional — seeded estimate by a human researcher; full rubric pass pending. Working notes ↓
Helix is listed in code editors because it competes on utility: post-modern modal editor, batteries included. It's community-maintained open source: the incentive is the tool itself. Licensed MPL-2.0; pricing: free. Technically it's lean — it runs comfortably on modest hardware, which is exactly the proof-of-work efficiency we rank for. This entry is provisional — the scores are seeded estimates pending our full manual rubric pass, and the verification date will appear here once complete.
LSP built-in, no plugin ecosystem needed
Recorded during the rubric pass — every score must carry evidence a stranger could re-check.
Spotted a problem — trackers added, dark patterns, abandonment? Report a violation. Scores change when evidence does.
