Emacs is my daily driver for work lately. Oddly enough I don't use it for code editing as much as I do for reading (TAGS navigation is great!) But, for a lisp environment - it's outstanding! I use it to do complex Jira queries (jiralib2), and have even used the source to jiralib2 as inspiration for writing my own RESTful connectivity to two other proprietary in-house systems. Then I cross reference them, to find out what stuff needs my attention immediately. There's no amount of email notifications, or slack bot popups that can replace what I'm doing for my workflows every day that I can get done in Emacs right now. Basically I create a lisp-interaction mode document, and treat my lisp expressions like things I can expand in a report by C-j'ing them. Then I've got keyboard shortcuts to open things in brower tabs using eww's functionality. I did a demo video for a few coworkers and folks who'd strayed from Emacs are starting to think about coming back to it again. I started kicking around the idea of building this out again in Racket, just to learn Racket, but it's a distraction from the system that's working great for me right now. My compile, test, edit cycle is now driven mostly by the Acme editor which makes it easy for me to script connecting to remote systems, issue builds, find failures, and jump to the line of code where things break while I'm working. I haven't found a way to go faster than this. Perhaps VS Code could replace some of this, but I just don't have the time (or perhaps the gumption) to give it a try honestly. Maybe I'm just having too much fun...
