I think hx is way more "discoverable" than vim with it's "whichkey" by default functionality and it's motion-first structure is way more attractive to me. As someone used to an IDE, I just really want git integration and other things. As soon as they land on a plugin system, maybe it will be viable.

This is a very confusing statement. Helix caused you to drop JetBrains IDEs for another editor (that is not Helix) entirely?

Neovim is closer to Helix but satisfies the needs in the second paragraph?
