>GNU Emacs is an extensible, customizable, self-documenting free/libre text editor and computing environment, with a Lisp interpreter at its core.
>Lisp is a family of programming languages with a long history and a distinctive parenthesized prefix notation. There are many dialects of Lisp, including Common Lisp, Scheme, Clojure and Emacs Lisp.
this article pisses me off, just the zoomer style otherwise their methodology is completely flawed because unlike vim emacs is a graphical text editor and you don't run it in the shell. even if you do, usually you only run it once because afterwards you can do everything from emacs

you dont even have to run it once, as emacsclient can start the daemon for you
I tried using doom emacs as a C IDE. It worked fine, but i can't imagine using emacs as my everyday operating system. Very few things work out of the box. For example something as simple as image viewer and pdf reader (not much difference between two) are very clunky. Why should I use emacs, when I can use neovim as an IDE, ranger for file management, zathura for pdf and so on. Are magit and org-mode the only good reason to use emacs? Do i have to learn elisp extensively to make use of emacs and how useful elisp is outside of emacs (is it similar to other lisp dialects)?
