It's funny, for 2024 I decided to take a crack at Emacs after 15 years of Vim. I forgot how absolutely horrible the new user experience is. First write a bunch of config to undo all the bad settings and nonsense that comes with the stock editor, then do three days of Googling to add basic features like fuzzy finding, LSP, VCS support you would expect to be built in in 2023.
Not saying Vim is any better, at least there's a package manager and they decided to include eglot in the base. But man, sometimes I wonder if we're all suffering from Stockholm syndrome and we need to break out and just remove the bad defaults and add in the damn stuff we all know people expect in an editor in 2023 and write it into the tutorial.
