helm

I have not used helm and I was wondering if anyone else has. It seems like it does many of the same things as ido but in many cases it does them better. I was considering creating a branch to try it out.

I assume you're talking about the helm Emacs package, not the k8s management system? In which case the answer for me is no.

I'd be interested in trying it out, so feel free.

yes lol

If you want to try stuff out, check out the helm branch.
I also set stuff up with ivy on the ivy branch. I'm thinking maybe we should go with ivy instead of helm because helm feels a bit more sluggish, which is a price I'm not sure I'm willing to pay for how intense it is.

Status: I am leaning toward ivy for responsiveness reasons. Hurdles to overcome:

• Tramp completion
• Convert usages of ido-completing-read in dot to use ivy (sudo-edit, switch-current-user)
• To be added as encountered
