Magit is not just a user interface. It's also a number of emacs-lisp packages useful on their own. It's Transient that's gaining popularity for building modal key UIs in Emacs. It's Forge that paved the road for nice packages like github.com/anticomputer/gh-notify. It is Org-mode integration and many other things.
What you're using is a ported subset of them.

- iLemming 5y agoThere are always multiple paths to get something done. Some people prefer automation. Having "a bucket of bolts and nuts" makes it possible to hack your way around things. Some people like Ferrari. For some - the utilitarian value of it, is minimal. They'd rather have "a bucket of bolts and nuts" instead. They can't go camping in a Ferrari. They can't take their bullmastiff to a vet in it. They can't help a friend to move furniture. Emacs is that - it's not akin to a shiny, expensive but not very useful car. It's like a transformer - you can build a pickup truck, a camper, an ambulance, or a race car. But some people like Ferrari. And that's totally fine.
