I think it's interesting that there are Emacs users who use it for so long and yet still regard it as a text editor. For me it's a window manager, mail client, terminal emulator and so much more and I don't know of a rivaling ecosystem where I could get these things in a consistent way. Maybe something Apple makes, but that's a non-starter really (especially if you care about keyboard accessibility).
