Beets is really great, before switching mainly to streaming I used it every day to tag new additions to my library.

Another alternative to Emacs with vim keybindings is Doom Emacs. It's superior to Spacemacs imo.

I've been using Spacemacs for a while, what sets Doom Emacs apart?

I am a convert from Spacemacs to Doom, and I have found that one of the main differences that sets Doom apart is easier configurability than Spacemacs. In Doom, there is still the concept of "layers," but IMO it is much easier to figure out what the layers are doing and customize them from there.

Also, I have found Doom to be much quicker (takes about 2 seconds to load, not using server/client) and less buggy than Spacemacs. I would highly recommend giving Doom a try!

This. Also, the developer is responsive on his Discord server should you have any issues with the editor. Henrik is patient, kind and reliable, rare traits for open source projects these days.

I completely agree, I have had a very similar experience with Henrik.
