been using emacs for several years... What could be improved is speed. Too many times it doesn't see some keys combinations I hit. Screen redraw should be faster too (I spend a lot of time in front of it so that kind of "detail" is actually important). Loading big files is slow. Editing long lines is slow. Of course it doesn't happen often but when it happens it's annoying. Emacs could also propose options to better align on common behaviors (for example C-left/right arrow) doesn't behave like in other editors.
It could also be more "discoverable". There are hundreds of functions so that 100% of my needs are covered. But every now and then, when I want to find a command, I DuckDuckGo it... It'd be nicer if somehow there would be an assisted navigation in the commands (or a pointer to that assistance I've been sorely missing :-))
But I like it anyway. 'cos it's faithful, community grown, etc.
And if I had time I would contribute. But emacs is an old platform so there are many choices buried in and reaching the level of knowledge necessary to contribute is probably very high...
