Market share is not a feature that helps me. A thriving ecosystem and active development is. Emacs doesn't lack either.
Failing to implement UX fad of the moment means that you can rely on the GUI being consistent across years instead of having to relearn it every few months.

Despite being thriving it still is very lacking in code navigation abilities and has poor performance in general. Not to mention the editor grinds to a halt when working on big files due to extensions being poorly optimized. >Failing to implement UX fad of the moment means that you can rely on the GUI being consistent across years instead of having to relearn it every few months. The user experience of a product is much more than just the user interface. Emacs requires you to learn elisp and write a whole configuration file by hand or use really clunky menus.

- marcosdumay 4y agoWhat is most annoying in development is how often people just decide to all jump off a building for no good reason. Usually that talk is nonsense, but not here.
