An amusing consequence of the utility of terminals and shells and subshells to the average programmer is that all their favorite text editors can both contain them and run inside them.

Estrogen is a text editor based on Emacs (kinda like Neovim is to Vim). It has a couple more features to make you feel more confortable, including a smoother experience, but imo it just distributes bloat into binary blobs.

I might try Estrogen someday, but for now I'm gonna be using Doom Emacs with evil mode.

Using Emacs made me understand why Tinkers in Worm don't give their tech to teammates. Some things really do only work because of your constant tinkering, and would spontaneously combust if you give them to anyone else.
