That’s easy. Because if they accept that emacs is good enough, they have to then accept that probably whatever thing they’re building is almost certainly worthless.

26 different browsers all based on Chromium, 127 different “observability platforms” etc.

So so much redundant rehashed stuff. We can’t accept that though, THIS TIME it’s going to be great and amazing and we’ll get a huge investment and sold to a huge company for millions.

I’m not suggesting that it hasn’t been a huge leap in computing and software in the last 40 years.

But we need to have faith in new being better to keep going. That’s why the new hotness is always so popular.
