The SB author speaking here. I hear you. I used emacs heavily for a few years and of course it inspires a lot of this. I see SB as a somewhat pragmatic reinvention of many emacs ideas. It doesn’t try to be as broadly applicable as emacs though.
While it’s almost impossible to innovate on what has been done in emacs over the decades, I think we can refresh some the things that make it powerful with a fresh coat of paint, to make it more accessible to a “younger generation.”
