Do you use vim as your default text editor? If you do not, have you ever been in a situation you could do nothing but use vim?

I use it where it’s available and helix isn’t
Helix is just used friendly vim, honestly. Vim barely has any help and helix is batteries included. Ever since discovering it, vim feels like a downgrade.
It’s just way easier to get helix to a usable state for the languages I write in than it is with vim. I don’t have to go plugin hunting or vetting random github repos; all the support mostly comes shipped with the editor. Throw some lines in TOML file and you’re good, vs downloading a plugin manager, downloading plugins, configuring those plugins and hoping you got everything right and the plugin repo’s README isn’t 10 years out of date.
100%
Same. Every machine I have control of I install Helix. For the rest, I remember just enough vi to do what I need and get out.
