I thought I wasnt alone but perhaps I live in a sparsely populated alternative history where Emacs gets simpler over time. Once you know the basics they dont change. Some more advanced tools gradually simplify or improve but it takes years. Various ideas are explored by users around the globe and the simplest and best ones survive: we now have magit and eglot and treesitter support. And org, but also markup. The shells are true shells with unlimited context and full access to the OS. Similarily for the REPLs. The only thing I miss is changing tools all the time and losing history, which felt like a refreshing excuse to start over when I was younger —- these days I dont have the patience and time.
