In my understanding, a not-fully-FSF-compliant fork of emacs with these features[1]:

Performant long lines

Tree-sitter font highlighting

Gnus is rewritten to be non-blocking

Process management is rewritten

Tree-sitter replacement of ersatz PPSS syntactic parser

Moving garbage collector rudiments

> Performant long lines

which would be a massive winner IMO.

no requirement for a written copyright assignment to the FSF is their biggest feature.

Yup me neither, and also, why the name?

Just a fork of emacs with an edgy name and some interesting modifications.

Let's help it live up to its name, and submit a pull request that adds advertising banners and tracking code.

Agreed, it indicates it fixes some systemic issues present in emacs, but doesn't fully articulate what those issues are.
