gnu and emacs already have a long history of cli and text friendly solutions that LLM dev agents can easily use and are trained on.
Or for structured data, just use a database. Dev agents can work with SQL just fine.
The first person that makes emacs for the hoi polloi will suck up all the emacs people as well just based on interop frustrations.
I still can't believe that after seeing how slack just released irc for grandma's and pointy haired bosses that no one has done the same for a sensible defaults for normies emacs.
Imagine a less capable electron based GUI on top of what emacs offers and I bet you'd get reasonably close to vscode.
