Would you please show me a tool with a better UI/UX that can do all the things that emacs can do?

Orgmode Magit Dired EXWM . . . this rabbit hole is an endless pursuit of higher and higher efficiency.

BTW, the UI/UX is quite customizable with basic elisp fu, using say Helm, Ivy etc.

For code editing, pick your IDE. For mail reading, pick your mail reader. For todo, pick your favorite todo app. They’re all better UI/UX.

I prefer JEdit to Emacs for a programmable editor, but I mostly just use IntelliJ anyway. JEdit carries the philosophy of Emacs, but the UI isn't stuck in the 70s.

I just read the JEdit.org homepage.

I am really intriuged by this comment over there and also your recommendation:

  jEdit is a mature programmer's text editor with hundreds (counting the time developing plugins) of person-years of development behind it.

Would you please point me to a good resource to learn more about JEdit for someone with Emacs/Vim background.
