Ido does everything I need it to, and works seamlessly with every package I've tried it with. > ido is not changing, and most extensions to it are very hacky. That's unacceptable for something I use in Emacs - I want to be able to change anything. I don't recall the exact discussion, as this was over a year ago, but I asked for the ability to change a specific default and was told "that's the wrong way to do it" - and I'm not the only one who's recounted something like that happening in the project. I may have made this point badly, but it's not about features, it's about letting me use those features the way I want. > Helm is already criticized by many ido fans for having too many features, now it's also criticized by ido fans for not having more (despite it having way more than ido). This is not a knock on helm, as helm (now) has helm-flx, but nevertheless I consider ido's default much better than helm's, as ido at least sorts the results. I use flx-ido, which supports out-of-order matching to some degree. Still, it does use a strange, difficult-to-use form of matching, and does not sort the results by default. I did forget it supports out-of-order matching, my apologies. If one searches for "file rename" Helm will find rename-file, while typing "filerename" in ido it will not find it. asterisk, which is why it supports out of order matching. I prefer ido, but helm is a good tool that's perfectly usable that tons of people like and does a lot more than ido.
ido is not changing, and most extensions to it are very hacky. This is because helm is constantly changing and improving. Helm is already criticized by many ido fans for having too many features, now it's also criticized by ido fans for not having more (despite it having way more than ido). > Dictatorial maintainers that only allows options and features that they deem the "right way" to do it.
An atrocious version of "fuzzy matching" (you have to separate terms with spaces, which are then turned into ".asterisk" (can't type a single asterisk in HN comments) and everything's concatenated into a regex to match)
