Well, no doubt better solutions can be, but I do not know any, still waiting to see a GNU Hurd system able to boot on my real iron... Meaning yes, we might have anything much better, but the point is that most modern software tend to be much worse then the old one, even counting the old gazillion bugs and inconsistent, a significant slice of legacy baggage etc. One part well taken in older desktops are the idea of DocUIs, editable and end-user programmable, of course I'll not use today a LispM or a Xerox Alto, my EXWM still boot on modern GNU/Linux (NixOS) because I need to interact with today world, I can't live like RMS with an obsolete laptop (much a craptop even if open) etc, but still with these old tools because they outshine modern ones. I casually use R and I like some of it's aspects, since it's a casual usage while inside EXWM and living in org-mode I've chosen R-Studio for that, it's not "anything ready and perfect" but the point remain. Why the hell wasting gazillion of time to create slides if I can simply present from a zoomed org-mode buffer? Why wasting my life with a spreadsheet if I can do the same with few SLoC in an org-babel block or in R Studio UI? Why became sick formatting docs with an office automation package when I can export/write directly LaTeX and change pretty anything without re-touching my text?
