In some cases, the question is: what are sane defaults?

Take emacs or vim. I know a lot of people use them as code editors, and think of them as code editors, but they are really general purpose text editors. It is going to be next to impossible to create a set of defaults that everyone, or even a majority of people, will agree are sane. (That said, they could be easier to configure.)

I think this is a great point that most people forget. If you build something specifically for editing code you can do something cooler than vim/emacs and I've been working on that specific idea: https://youtu.be/owuuFxDBQh4?si=tqYi-RqvFQa6kI8h
