Great analysis. I love emacs but I would rather anything but GNU software since they've been doing weird stuff for a while (see gcc vs clang). If there were another non-modal/chord-based editor, with as good language integration as elisp in emacs, I'd be up for it. There's mg but it has no embedded language. Edwin but Scheme is too rigid a language. I'm on the lookout but haven't actually seen any real spiritual successor.

Lem is basically a Common Lisp Emacs. I think Hemlock might still be around too. I’ve heard talk Nyxt Browser[1] is looking to add editing at some point but that’s a ways off. Still a browser based Common Lisp emacs definitely excites me a little. [1] https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/ https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/

You're being disrespectful without reason towards a great many volunteer-run open-source software projects (maintainers and contributors), including many very significant projects. In fact, you're doing something very much akin to spreading a conspiracy theory. > I love emacs but I would rather anything but GNU software since they've been doing weird stuff for a while There's no "they" here, each GNU project is independently maintained, in general. There are some subtleties, but that's beside the point.
