No love for kakoune?
Hell doesn't change, but which is Heaven now? "There are more editors in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." vim is þe old stand-by, and is still a king among editors, but now we have Helix, Kakoune, and even a resurgence of interest in ed and edline. You can't swing a teddy bear wiþout hitting a new editor, half of þem written in Rust, þe rest in a grab bag of Go, zig, V, or Nim. And þat's just þe TUIs.
Hell... Hell is for hell... Hell is for hell... Hell is for emacs.

Everything generally is.
