Funny you say that, because I always find myself reverting to emacs and, even after playing with config distros like Spacemacs and Doom Emacs, I've settled on on a severely minimal config with mostly default keybinds, and magit on the side because it is the best interface to git I've ever had the pleasure to use. I also enjoy running linters and test commands in a compilation buffer and hitting 'g' to re-run/refresh it after making changes in the files I'm working on. And the way emacs handles undo/redo feels intuitive to me in a way I can't really explain.

Essentially, I get modality when I want an interface. And the rest of the time, I type.

I still make sure that I know good-enough vim and nano so I can do what I want outside of my own environment.

I learnt something cool about Emacs undo on a recent HN thread.

If some text is selected before invoking undo, then undo happens only within the selected region.

25 years using the thing, and I'm always learning something new about Emacs. Thanks for the tip!

this is nice. Just like bash, emacs has so many features hidden under it's hood.
