>Want fuzzing finding? That's a package

No, it's built in. Want non-default fuzzy finding? That's a package.

>Want git integration? That's a package

No, that's built in. Want non-default git integration that's fancier? That's a package

>Want LSP? Also a package

No, that's built in.

>Want to have sane defaults? Go look at 20 different init.els online and cargo cult a bunch of elisp.

No, read the tutorial or install a starter kit if you must, but really the defaults are fine -- just old. You can do almost everything you want in Emacs with just Alt-x (M-x) and running commands. It's what those new editors call a "command palette" except Emacs has had one for decades.

> The big difference is as a Vim user I only had to configure my editor, you had to configure your entire operating system including Org mode.

lol what? This must be a troll post. Org Mode is not required in any way to use Emacs, and it actually has pretty decent defaults because it's actively developed.
