I've often wondered when Emacs would become the term used to describe hyper-personalized software. While it is true that LLMs give access to software that fits like a glove, it seems to me that there is still a glaring difference -- at least when one looks at GNU Emacs: a shared software tradition. To my knowledge [1], LLMs don't provide that.

Maybe it's best to call this movement in LLM-generated software "software individualism" rather than "personal software"?

[1] I don't know much as I haven't vibecoded before, and my .emacs is painfully crafted by hand.
