I like it infinitely more than anything, but it also still feels like a comparably slow, crufty pos that will probably die because of how anti-AI half the core community is. Regardless of how good magit is, it's slow.
I also can't understand how people like eca and agent-shell so much unless they've never actually used any decent harness. Neither seems to really fit with emacs. Acp is the exact opposite of extensible, and eca isn't really extensible either.
Had the last ten years of emacs development never happened, I suspect emacs would be just as used. So no, I don't think the anti-AI stance would extinguish the compelling repl-as-editor proposition that emacs does so well. I wouldn't put too much stock in the agent-shell business. It's got junior dev written all over it, and they're the most vocal.
