The Emacs user interface, I think, the general text editor, is slowly dying. We can see in the LWN article that it is very reluctant to change, and this is what evolution has learned me: if you cannot adapt, you die. Most software never make it as far as Emacs have, in any case. So it is not a failure.
But is it possible to keep Emacs as a powerful tool, working from behind, in other tools? Like a utility you drop into for specific tasks? Magit for example, or org-mode. Could that be a future for Emacs, to be integrated as a a backend for some tasks in VSCode?
