    Doom emacs is superior

    Emacs is a fine operating system, lacking only a good text editor.

    Edit: For the record, I code in emacs every day at work. (Please send help.)

    Oh I definitely agree - and highly recommend checking out doom emacs to solve that. It's emacs configured to use vim keybinds instead (and other QOL features). It adds a bit less than 200 add-ons by default, but they're only loaded as needed so startup time is still <1 second
