As I see it the older emacs users see many of their decisions as right because they made them. What I’m sensing is a total lack of basic design thinking. A “neoEmacs” could achieve this, get clear who the new target audience is and based around this what a neoEmacs clear project goals would be (something like “position an emacs to be the editor of choice for people born after the year 2000”) [or whatever] and then with a new persona start to unpack critical design considerations and priorities a project plan from there.
For emacs to survive/thrive it will need to go through a process of transformation. Even from these conversations I can see right now that can’t happen with the current core emacs project. I neoEmacs would be a great way forward.
