Emacs

So I recently got back into using Emacs, primarily as a productivity tool. While it might be more at some point, my best programming weapons are still VSCode and Vim, sometimes NeoVim, and usually in combination with TMux and the vim-tmux-navigator plugin. But I can always go into that later, or you can search for what is likely a better explanation elsewhere.

Emacs, originally short for “Editor Macros”, is quite well named. People come to Emacs looking for a direct comparison between VSCode and other solutions, which is foolish, as it turns out. The best explanation I heard was that Emacs is not an editor, it is a toolkit for building the perfect editor for you. But like a lot of things, there is some assembly required.
