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.

The Emacs Lock-In Effect or the Emacs Sunk Cost Fallacy
The question is almost like asking a fish to describe water. It's the sudden lack of it that produces a really clear example. :)
Anyway, here's a random example that comes to mind: I have some sexps in a Lisp file and I want to sort them alphabetically. Each sexp (usually a top-level form, but not necessarily) usually spans multiple lines, so line-sorting won't do it. Since they may be top-level forms, there may be comments between them that would lose their context if their position relative to sexps were lost, so comments need to "stick to" sexps they're above.
How would you solve this in a random text editor?
In Emacs, I would develop a command that does what I need. At each stage of the development process, I evaluate the command's definition, and it's instantly available to be used and tested. I could even test the function on its own definition, if I wanted to be silly (undoing the sorting after testing, of course).
When I'm done, I save the command definition to my configuration, and it's now a permanent tool in my toolbox. I didn't have to recompile the editor and start a new process, nor did I have to submit a patch to an upstream and ask for it to be merged. Similarly to a carpenter (forgive me if it sounds silly), my editor is my workbench, and as wood is malleable, so is my editor.
So, here's the command I came up with (maybe not the prettiest implementation, but maybe not the worst): https://github.com/alphapapa/unpackaged.el#sort-sexps And using Emacs and Org mode, I publish it into this "unpackaged" package, which I then install into my configuration as a package, and other users can then easily install it into theirs, too.
I don't know of any other editor that can do all of this, certainly not so easily.

Automatically sorting an Org file upon save using multiple sorting criteria
Here's the code in my Emacs config. I'll probably add these functions to unpackaged.el (the Org sorting function there is more primitive than these).

Navigation suggestion needed
Sorting. This is handled within Org, see org-sort. However, you may find this function helpful for sorting recursively and with multiple methods (e.g. first by priority, then alphabetically): https://github.com/alphapapa/unpackaged.el#sort-tree-by-multiple-methods-at-once

Lets talk about Emacs UI
The customize buffers can be used with the keyboard. You can tab between fields, and C-c C-c to set values. See also https://github.com/alphapapa/unpackaged.el#set-value-of-customization-option-at-point
org-make-toc
-
Navigation suggestion needed
Tables of contents. In Org these are mainly used when exporting to other formats, but they can be helpful for navigating within an Org file. toc-org is a fine package, but, of course, I recommend my own TOC package, which is more powerful and flexible: https://github.com/alphapapa/org-make-toc
