@iznogoud I'm a programmer, I use emacs because it has every feature I need 'out of the box'. I can setup every thing I need without writing a single line of code. It's available on every platform I use. It's performant, stable, and well supported.

I don't use editors that focus on speed. Most of my time I spend thinking, not writing, that is not a bottleneck. I don't need the shortcuts to be fast, I don't need to keep my hands on the home row, I don't need single digit millisec response times.
