I get the feeling Emacs is where things like Atom and VS Code are looking for a lot of inspiration.

Unfortunately, they used bloated Electron framework.

Little over a year ago I began sketching out a native Mac OS editor, taking ideas from xiki, ia writer, emacs.

The core API was mostly fleshed out. I just got wrapped up in personal life stuff. Might have to take another look at that soon.

I feel like the amount of hassle in terms of time spent is probably more imagined than real.

I tried VS Code for a couple months last year. It felt like less of a hassle than vim from 10 years ago. But with pathogen, cloning into .vim/bundle doesn't feel any more burdensome than finding the best plugins on VS Code did.

I mean, to each their own.

Also anecdotal, but this past Thanksgiving I got into a chat with two nieces and a couple of their friends, all in the late-teen range.

They're really concerned about the amount of information these big data stores have on them.

They're worried even more that there is a government snoop checking in on them or another unknown.

Personally, I have gotten more and more leery of putting data online. I deleted my Facebook 7 years ago. Twitter is strictly read-only for me. I share kid pics directly with family via private storage I control.

Really needs to be a peer-2-peer suite of "social" tools that cut out middlemen as much as possible.
