Its not keyboard driven enough.

I feel that every time I reach for the mouse a kitten dies in some distant universe far far away.

With Emacs I am less concerned with editing than managing my work related data and work flow, and still think Smalltalk is better for it. I see myself getting back to Smalltalk after I get some more experience with Emacs.

Both Emacs and Smalltalk though are in serious need of native SQL or some kind of good database support not for applications but managing the workspace itself. You can only get so far with plists, collections, hash tables and what nots.

Even the org-roam guys have switched to SQLite to manage the data.
