Make helm the default completion module for Doom
It's been a change a long time coming. Ivy's snappiness and simple API was Ivy's selling point (as far as Doom is concerned). It helps that much of helm's vast featureset has been ported over and its API is so much simpler to grok, but its greatest weakness lies in its choice of display mechanism: the minibuffer. Ivy's performance suffers dramatically with large datasets because mutating results in the minibuffer blocks the minibuffer, which also happens to be where we type in our queries. This can make input feel dreadfully sluggish in the best cases, locking up Emacs entirely in the worst. Helm updates a buffer asynchronously, so it suffers none of this (though the overhead of maintaining this buffer is certainly overkill for tiny datasets). And Ivy's simple API, while easier to understand, is significantly less powerful. That it takes so much effort to grok Helm is a huge turn off (and of course, no fault of the dev). Still, there simply is no excuse for power users like myself to not do so anyway. The more I learn about it, the more I wonder why I stuck to ivy for so long (but also reminds me exactly why I did)!
