> Lately, my Magit buffer broke once again because of something weird going on with major mode It's 2023, and emacs still sucks in exactly the same way as it did when I first used it in 1995, and when I last used it for everyday coding in 2009-2010. Every time I tried to buff emacs with extra functionality, I found it constantly breaking. I would post to mailing lists about code changes I had to make to get modes working, and I found that other users treated it as a totally normal part of the user experience to have to rewrite some code to get things working in your setup. Comments like this let me know that it happens even to the emacs gurus; they just don't mind it as much and (presumably) can fix it faster than the rest of us. Emacs doesn't need a GUI library. It needs a rewrite with a different architecture for modern times, and people who love emacs should keep trying despite the many past failures. Correction: emacs doesn't need anything. It can continue in its present form for decades, but I think it would be nice if it had a bigger, brighter future that might bring me back to it someday.
