I like the idea of doing browsing in folders containing files as navigating between edit buffers.
I've been editing like that since the 1990s because that's how Emacs and XEmacs do it (M-x dired command). The ease and speed of just pressing RETURN on the .. menu to go up or on the folder name to open and look inside is unrivalled and much faster than using my mouse (and better for health - avoids RSI).
Would be cool for Helix to get Emacs-like directories-as-edit-buffers functionality!
