I keep seeing new projects that implement things that Emacs and Org mode already do incredibly well. I guess it's a testament to how steep the Emacs learning curve is, or perhaps how ugly the defaults look. You have ox-beamer, which lets you write your slides in Org-mode, and export using LaTeX and Beamer, which look pretty great. You can also use org-reveal, or org-re-reveal to make some visually very attractive presentations with reveal-js. And finally, if you want to actually have the presentation run inside Emacs, you can use dslide[0] which looks really nice, and leans heavily on org-babel.

There's definitely something to be said about emacs being stuck in time. However, everything under the sun is just a half-baked clone of something emacs already had, except for text-editing :^)

  Just use e-vi-l-mode for text

Steep learning curve and it's sorta an all or nothing investment. I don't particularly care for emacs despite having tried several times in earnest. IMO a tool that requires full (or at least significant) buy-in on an ecosystem isn't a great tool and warrants an alternative. I'd rather see good agnostic tools get made and then wrapped.
