Toward a “modern” Emacs

A product doesn’t need to be excellent to be popular. Take for example McDonald’s or Burger King. You will not get excellence there. But you will consistently get a filling meal to a quite good price. Or take TV-series. They don’t need to be excellent either to get lots of viewers. They just need to be available and entertaining.

(I don’t mean this as a critique of VSCode. I have never used it.)

Yeah but VS Code is considered by many to also be best in class.

I find that assertion utterly perplexing.

I mean, to each their own. Someone else using an editor I dislike doesn’t harm me in any way. But if someone told me that VS Code was “best in class” for anything other than a language I have never touched and have no knowledge of, I’d look at them like they’d just asserted that the sky is green.
