This. Sure, Emacs is a modern, highly extensible, performant OS already but we all know it's missing a good text editor!
No it isn’t — evil-mode is a great text editor!
I’ma let you finish, but pico was the greatest text editor of all time.. someone just needs to port it to emacs
Emacs is great many things, but fast it is not. Nativecomp improved some stuff a bit and there has been other improvements lately too, but ultimately the core of emacs is built for flexibility, not for perf.
What’s wrong with Neovim?
it requires knowledge of obscure key bindings, the GUI options are lacking compared to other editors, and it is pretty barebones out of the box
A lot of things, from limited keybinding support due to terminal limits, unergonomic extension language, very poor default setup, lacking good GUI, poor multicursor support, lack of core Zed's feature - collaboration
I know that's just a minor point, but I don't think you ever really need multicursor if you have access to vim features
Those features are a worse substitute for that awesome generic UI mechanism called immediate visual feedback (for the same reason Helix's visual-first mode, which unfortunately neovim also lacks, is better)
