Linus Torvalds is looking for a more modern GUI editor (2023)

Is there a particular reason he's not even considered the great big obvious choice: GNU Emacs? Hell, he even mentioned the fact that "it's not GNU Emacs that I'm currently using". Does he have something against it? Because that's exactly what he needs.

One solution is to cozy up to Zed’s developers and have a first party uemacs mode.

Another is to write his own from scratch, ala git, and create another platform that takes on a life of its own.
