I'm really impressed with the strides Emacs has made recently: native compilation, project.el, eglot, and now tree-sitter?
As a user who hadn't kept up with development news until recently, I'd always mentally sorted Emacs into the same taxonomy as stuff like `find`: old, powerful, with a clunky interface and a stodgy resistance to updating how it does things (though not without reason).
I'm increasingly feeling like that's an unfair classification on my part--I'm genuinely super excited to see where Emacs is in 5 years.
