@swift @SpindleyQ It won't replace Doom Emacs for me, but it fills that niche of wanting to quickly edit some files that Emacs doesn't have ideal support for (like assembly), while still having enough smart features, plus ways to extend it if necessary. Kinda like how I used to use Kakoune.
Also, it doesn't shoot itself in the foot by starting from a terminal UI and trying to extend that with GUI features. So that already gives it better foundations than Emacs.
