Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

A Consistent Structural Editing Interface - karthinks.com
The current state of things is pretty underwhelming and convoluted. In 2018 I designed a system on top of thingatpt that was not married to any parser (can use regexps or use tree-sitter or anything else to build things) or to any editing style (modal vs. non-modal). I'll probably never complete it due to a lack of time/interest, but it still seems to me that what's needed is something like this, a library in the middle that could be used for any package like this. Not sure why no one else seems to see how good thingatpt could be.

The State of Structural Editing in Emacs?
I've planned to use treesitter in things.el for a long time, but another package will likely become useful long before I have time to do this.

Effective and efficient text editing using Emacs (Alternative to Evil)
I've designed my own text object/motion system that I hope will eventually bring more "useful" composability to any Emacs user that wants it (see things), but right the implementation is buggy and incomplete.

What are the small reasons to try Emacs?
Some killer features in Emacs, which I would recommend checking out, is imenu and movement by s-expression (functions like forward-sexp). These are built into Emacs and make navigating across or inside blocks of code very easy. I have also seen that lispy, which is usually used for Lisp code also supports Python. Again I can't speak to any specifics about how well these things work for Python devs.

Any way to make lispy format works automatically?
While writing other programming languages with LSP, it formats the buffer once I hit save. Is there any way to make https://github.com/abo-abo/lispy do some equivalent behaviour?

Emacs/Slime equivalent of some Cider features?
I don't know cider, but...I found lispy mode a revelation in making the easy, easier.

Why is it hard to get started with elisp in emacs
The level of interactivity in your emacs determines how easy trying emacs-lisp becomes. I suggest checking out https://github.com/abo-abo/lispy, it makes it easy to look up documentation (C-c 1 I believe) and evaluate S-expressions on the fly (keybinding is e). Also C-h f, C-h k, C-h v are always very helpful. Also check out helpful (the package), selectrum, marginalia, prescient, etc.

Tree Sitter and the Complications of Parsing Languages
Emacs seems to attract quite a lot of people who want structural code editing. We now have * paredit * smartparens * evil-cleverparens * lispy * symex * combobulate (more?)

The State of Structural Editing in Emacs?
Obviously, we have packages like Paredit and Lispy, recently we got SymEx, but these are all for the Lisp family of languages, where syntactic redundancy is very high because of the homoiconicity.
What are some alternatives?
evil-textobj-tree-sitter - Tree-sitter powered textobjects for evil mode in Emacs
smartparens - Minor mode for Emacs that deals with parens pairs and tries to be smart about it.
gopcaml-mode
parinfer-rust - A Rust port of parinfer.
xah-fly-keys - the most efficient keybinding for emacs
symex.el - An intuitive way to edit Lisp symbolic expressions ("symexes") structurally in Emacs
link-hint.el - Pentadactyl-like Link Hinting in Emacs with Avy
