> "Is anyone still using emacs?" Nothing else is capable of handling the variety of text-related things I want from my text editor. - I consume HN and Reddit in Emacs. Allows me for example to quickly search through all the links shared in a thread. - I read Jira and Slack in Emacs - in org-mode. It is far better for finding relevant things, extract them for my notes, etc. - All my writing done in Emacs. Because I have: spellchecking, thesaurus, etymology and definition lookup, translations, LLM integration, etc. All my notes are in Org (Zettelkasten style). - All my spaced repetition cards are in Org-mode (they are parts of my notes, I don't need a separate system to manage them). I can generate number of cards to study a topic, from selected notes. - All my AI sessions are in Emacs. It's amazing that I can send just about any text to an LLM, anytime, anywhere. I can do it in the middle of typing a message, like this very comment. - I watch YT vids controlling the playback directly. I can pause, rewind, speed-up, mute, extract transcript, etc. - this is indispensable while watching and taking notes. - my email client is in Emacs (of course, why not) - my Telegram client is in Emacs. I can easily retrieve a video from any web page and send it directly (without linking the page). - I can extract any part of my screen and OCR the text out - it pops up in an Emacs buffer. - I perform all searches from Emacs - I can google, duckduckgo, brave, HN (algolia), wikipedia, etc. I search through my browser history in Emacs. - I can control my browser tabs, switch between them, find matching lines on the page, jump to links, etc. - I read and annotate PDFs in Emacs. - And I haven't even touched anything programming-related (tons of things) Why, oh why would I ever feel unsatisfied, hoping that there's anything else that can help me do things better? Honestly, there just doesn't exist a piece of software that could help me do even a subset of things I can easily achieve with Emacs. You'd ask me that question in 20 years, if I'm alive and still using a computer - the answer would be - "Yes, what else would I use?"
