As someone who recently saw the light, and converted to Emacs (spacemacs), I am absolutely delighted that its going strong. Emacs is the most delightful software I have ever used. I could evolve a flexible todo management productivity workflow, start writing a journal and start writing new posts in a distraction free environment all using Org Mode in just two days. A complete win for someone who went back to paper (rather unsuccessfully) to organize to-dos after finding digital tools inflexible. And for python development on remote machine, I get editing and autocomplete on remote systems out of the box (spacemacs) due to Tramp. I was like wtf, why didn't I start using this beautiful piece of software years back. The way Emacs is a programmable platform really changes how I view what a good software should be. For instance, I was documenting a machine learning experiment in org mode file. I wanted to mention a metrics result generated as json by my machine learning code. I could just embed sh into the org file, execute it (on the remote machine without friction) and print result directly into the org file. I can trivially compare results in two files and record it back into org mode easily, even on a remote system. It has made me think that we need more software which erases distinction of programming as something distinct from using software.
