I use emacs, but would love to see a from scratch modern rebuild which deals with rough edges like threading and performance.

- throw10920 5y agoOh, I completely agree! Emacs is only elegant along some axes, and those two are particular pain points for me, too.
- lytedev 5y agoEmacs is quite popular and has some of the most skilled programmers I know using it. I'm really surprised that there hasn't been a neovim-equivalent project for emacs. Or maybe it's out there and I just don't know about it?
- xunn0026 5y agoSpacemacs had some Neovim-like fame at some point. I don't see it promoted that much anymore.
- hsbauauvhabzb 5y agoAnd to be clear, I don’t know of many 40 year old projects without warts, emacs has done incredibly well
