That all makes sense. I wasn't trying to attack Emacs or defend Neovim, for the record. I liked Emacs and didn't have any problems with it (except some window jankiness). I was mostly just curious about the ecosystem.

The big reason I switched is because a lot of the big features of Emacs (org mode, magit, "living" in Emacs, advanced text manipulation, the extreme extensibility of the software) were things that sound really amazing on paper, but in practice I just don't really need/use/care about, and that's just my preferences. But once again, Emacs is cool and I totally respect what it can do.
