> they want a tool that has all relevant to their tasks front and center, all irrelevant invisible or nonexistent

That is Emacs. You just have to drag the relevant up first and push down the irrelevant.

The thing is in Emacs, most utilities don’t want to presume how you would want some feature. Even if they do have defaults, they are suggestions at most. Instead of getting a tools that you have to learn and conform too, you get the template/idea/inital_version of a tool, and you make it your own

And there’s the whole idea of integrating stuff instead of isolated utilities.



Polite tools that assume competence are such a pleasure to use.
