nice but no org mode yet...

Yeah the real power of Emacs that keeps me with it is the packages and community surrounding it. Org is irreplaceable to me. I use Calc all the time, and Magit even more. The GUI and the associated ability of having different fonts and font sizes at the same time, with embedded images and whatnot, makes it feel capable as more than just a text editor. Heck, I even browse Gemini with Elpher inside Emacs. Also the discoverability of everything within Emacs itself is unparalleled.

If Lem is eventually able to replicate these things (or even improve them), I'll have no problem switching.

It would be cool if it took off, SBCL is very nice, but then so too is Mach and yet HURD isn't really there yet after 20 years.
