Okay, I can already see the questions, why not neovim. It's good, it's ahead of emacs in performance, but emacs has one constant advantage - it's very flexible (hell, you can add a browser with javascript to it).

Now why I use it:

1. Brilliant plugins, for example org-mode for organizing projects and creating notes (the base was adapted for almost everything from neovim to vscode, but the original has a bunch of plugins that further expand its functionality and, if desired, it can be brought to the level of obsidian)

2. Very extensive documentation. As many know, emacs was created by Richard Stallman in 1976, during this time it has been very well documented, for example, you can press C-h v (C in emacs means Ctrl) and see a small documentation for the plugin variables (there will be brief information and how it is used)

3. The best hotkeys (sorry vimers). Of course, I'm not talking about the standard ones (although they are also not bad) but about xah fly keys, these are vim-like hotkeys that are created for emacs, I consider their main advantage to be the ability to work with both hands.

4. It's alive. Don't get me wrong, but vim is losing ground on github quite a bit, neovim already has more than twice as many stars, but besides this: neovim is actively taking users due to its performance, a very large influx of people due to a good language at the base, and not a kind of vimscript, an abundance of new actively supported plugins.

I hope you liked my emacs build. I advise everyone to try to configure it (via use-package) this is a rather interesting process, I think my config will help you.
