Emacs :) A great operating system that needs an editor

  That's why you have Evil :trollface:

  This is an old joke, but a good one. Modern emacs has full colour graphics,a window manager, a decent browser, evil makes editing possible for people with ten fingers or less... I (and many others) have been thinking about a system that boots to Emacs. With the guile backend we might get enough speed to make it tolerable fulltime. The only thing missing (and I bet somebody has done this too) is a way to run graphical ELF binaries with an embedded X/Wayland type thing.

    I use EXWM and it's basically EmacsOS.

      Wooow !! I've been looking for this for years !! Currently using emacs + dwm. I'll check out EXWM see if it can beat my current workflow :D

    It still misses some nice XEmacs features.

      Really? What are they?

        It has been a while, since I eventually got back into the comfy land of IDEs, but looking at my default Ubuntu installation. Buffers being graphical, including the possibility to work with images inline Lisp Machine style. The gdb integration was more ergonomic, felt closer to something like DDD.

          GNU Emacs can work with inline images.

            Genera style? https://youtu.be/o4-YnLpLgtk?t=413 https://youtu.be/o4-YnLpLgtk?t=413
