Yeah. I still use Emacs for actual development sometimes, but it's been less and less, honestly. But it isn't going anywhere as my git porcelain. I used to scoff at even the concept of a git porcelain- I never used my IDEs' tools to do git ops because I thought they were weird, leaky abstractions, and that you just have to learn "real" git anyway. But Magit doesn't hide git from you- it's just a really nice, interactive, interface over git.

Even better when you can actually hop into conflicted files and use smerge and language-specific tooling (LSP) to do "real IDE" stuff.
