> Emacs is a complete environment and set of capabilities But so is the shell and the terminal and yet new young folks are much more willing to try out shell+terminal tools than Emacs+packages. Your comment describes the difference between this toolkit and Emacs perfectly from a dev POV and what you say makes complete sense. But I was pondering from user POV. I mean when devs use this library/toolkit and create terminal apps, I am sure those terminal apps will find many enthusiastic users. Many of the same users would not find themselves so enthusiastic if Elisp devs provided the same tool to them as an Emacs capability. You see my point? I don't know why this difference in attitude towards terminal tools and Emacs tools exists. Is it because of the reputation of Emacs being old? Or its reputation of unusual keybindings?
