Yes while you're in one 'garden' everything is rosy.

How do you switch to other apps, or between virtual worksapces though? All that's defined by the terminal emulator, or window system, outside of nvim, and hopefully it's consistent or at least doesn't conflict.

So I guess the OP argument is that everything should be in the 'window manager' garden, instead of all the apps making their own little alcoves with their own custom little languages.

The traditional emacs solution is to move everything into emacs, and they actually follow through (emacs can, in fact, be a window manager, web browser, and terminal emulator).

lol, emacs can do everything. Shame my wrists aren't compatible with it's keyboard command architecture.

That's how I use emacs every day. Once it is open, I rarely need to do anything outside of it. Code, compile, debug, web search, etc. It can handle everything I have thrown at it.
