Packages that you would like to be in emacs core ?
Since we already have vyper-mode, why not add Evil to the stack?

Ask HN: Does anyone Lisp without Emacs?
2 stripe blue belt here! I used to use Vim for everything other than Java development and have now adopted Emacs in the same way. I am using it for Clojure and Common Lisp development along with org mode, irc, rss, git and file management
I started with Evil mode and then moved to Xah fly keys before sticking to the emacs bindings. Having the caps lock key bound to CTRL helped me a lot. I don't know if it makes that much of a difference for Emacs but using the DVORAK layout has helped my fingers
There are other bindings you can try like Meow or God mode but I don't know what the adoption rate is like for them. Emacs gives you the flexibility to set it up as you please. As others have mentioned, there may be other keyboard options that might be more helpful as well

Emacs Is My New Window Manager
If you already know Vim, you should probably not use Emacs without Evil:
https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil
It gives you comprehensive Vim bindings so what you need to learn to be comfortable in Emacs is very little. As a bonus, it also keeps your RSI risk unchanged.

Is orgmode really that much better than an equivalent workflow using vim + other tools?
I would *highly* recommend using vim keybindings if you're just getting into it (Doom or just evil). I switched from vim to emacs and tried to rough it with the default keybindings thinking that otherwise I wasn't /really/ using emacs, but I was wrong! I've been using org-mode/emacs for ~2 years now and I've slowly been migrating everything into it as I find useful tools/modes/etc (and now thanks to u/ilemming I have ~12 more to experiment with 😂)

Switching from Emacs. My experience
Despite using Emacs as my main editor, I was extremely familiar with Vim since I also used it frequently, and was able to use it quite well, especially because I also used [evil](https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil) in Emacs since Emacs's native keybindings are uncomfortable to use. I never used Vim as my primary editor though because it was cumbersome to configure. As many people say, Vimscript just feels wrong, so I gave up on trying to customize Vim.

Is it possible to use vim like navigation and control everywhere on the windows/mac applications?
uhm... this maybe? https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil

How do I take priority from Evil's escape key?
I am currently using evil and corfu, but I want to configure such that pressing a single escape will invoke corfu-quit when its UI is active (because pressing "C-g" is harder).

Does anyone here live inside emacs? can you share your workflow if you do?
If you want to take this idea all the way, you can use EXWM. Then you can just use a normal browser, normal media players, normal Slack and so on, treating them as buffers you switch between in the usual way. This is my preference for Linux workstations.
The tools I use for living inside Emacs are: - EXWM as window manager https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm - mew for e-mail https://www.mew.org/en/ - org-mode for calendar and todo-list https://orgmode.org/ - terminology as shell/terminal (before it was xterm, but wanted transparency) https://www.enlightenment.org/about-terminology.md - elfeed as rss-reader https://github.com/skeeto/elfeed - hackernews for Hackernews-reader https://github.com/clarete/hackernews.el - browser eww and Firefox - pdf-tools for viewing pdfs and in mew they are converted to text view

[EXWM] Not running under X environment when launched with emacsclient -c
Reading into this link: https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm/issues/703 explains a lot, especially medranocalvo's comment but I've still not figured out how to fix this.

What's that email client doing here?
I do the following things in Emacs: window management, window management, file management, web browsing, mail, streaming music, chatting, shell management, version control, and life organization.

Are There Window Management Options For Emacs That Are Alternatives To Tab Bar Mode And Eyebrowse Mode, And Are Similar To Something Like 'i3'?
EXWM is a full-blown tiling window manager for X11 that runs in Emacs. I've been using it for years. It's kind of difficult to get going, but I'd never switch back now.
- Use GNU Emacs
