Why emacs (alien.top)

Why not just use vscode if you want a more featured experience, and vim/neovim if you want a minimalistic experience?

(not including the fact that Microsoft owns vscode and that some parts are not open source, im aware of that, so no need to mention it)

I want keyboard centric usage but feature rich

Also emacs is a tad more then just customizeable like vscode. emacs has a tiny C core and the rest ist elisp. This makes it so that you can customize everything. Once you get used to that it’s hard to accept that you have dead ends on other editors where you just have to accept what you want isn’t possible without maintaining your own fork of packages or the editor
