I mean, aren't there whole web browsers and email clients written inside of Emacs? Isn't there a whole "Emacs is an operating system" joke? But in any case, I try to avoid bespoke custom editor setups unless there's a situation that really warrants it.

Only one web browser, I think. The w3m package exists, but that's just a communication layer between Emacs and w3m.

> I mean, aren't there whole web browsers and email clients written inside of Emacs? Depends on your definition of "whole". Those modes work by removing features from the webstack, or by borrowing from external GUIs. Emacs browser w3m for example, is AFAIK unable to handle JavaScript. Electron-apps on the other side offer you whole webstack, including all available components, widgets, libs, frameworks, or whatever. So it's very easy to take some webapp or component and integrate into your workflows. Apps like Emacs are unable of doing this, and thus constantly on a game of fetching up on popular features and services.
