Magit is not an "application based on Emacs", it's an extremely powerful git plugin for someone who is already using Emacs. If you're not using Emacs, it would be crazy to fire up Magit just to do a git commit or rebase. Even the fact that you'd have to learn Emacs' extremely idiosyncratic keyboard shortcuts, and even keyboard shortcut help (what do you mean "save is C-x C-s?" what does that even mean?) is a huge problem not worth the effort.

And I'm saying this as someone who has exclusively programmed in Emacs with Magit for the last 5 years in my job.

What makes you say that?

Magit never asks you to C-x C-s save anything. Magit has its own independent set of discoverable keybinds.

One does not simply use Emacs.

I simply used Emacs for 25 years, avoiding editing .emacs entirely

Only in the past years have I started customizing it

My attraction to Emacs is stability and I can use it in text or GUI mode.

Many editors have come and gone in that time, many employers insist I use this or that piece of over designed, under done GUI. When I have the chance, back to Emacs
