What dev feature is available in emacs but not in the current mainstream IDEs ?
It is cool but not unique. vim-dirvish has existed for Vim since a long time.
-
main file explorer plugin replacement?
vin-dirvish fits your requirements.
-
Which file explorer do you use?
I use vim-dirvish(you probably want to pair this with vim-enunch), it's a more minimal version of Netrw.
-
Managing your files. How do you do it?
There is the built-in file browser, netrw, but I switched from that to vim-dirvish to lir.nvim to oil.nvim. These are file browsers, not file trees, and my preference for them is probably because I became accustomed to netrw after using it for so long.
-
FAVOURITE PLUGINS
vim-dirvish (great NetRW alternative)
-
"Emacs is bloat and memory intensive"
file managers or project/directory viewer
-
sidebar.nvim - A generic and modular lua sidebar
vim-dirvish
- "How to do what 90% of plugins do in vanilla vim" - what are some of the 10% plugins?
-
coc-explorer replacement for Neovim 5.0
There's also a minimal alternative if you're interested lir.nvim. Although I still use vim-dirvish because it meets all my needs.

Helix: Release 24.03 Highlights
Helix's modal editing is based on Kakoune's modal editing which is like an evolution to Vim's modal editing. You can think of it as being always in selection (visual) mode. https://github.com/mawww/kakoune?tab=readme-ov-file#selectio...

A tutorial for the Sam command language (1986) [pdf]
And while it doesn’t use the sam language precisely, I think in the broader “postfix Vi with visual feedback” category Kakoune[1] also warrants mentioning. The command language, in my experience, feels much more logical than that of Vis coming from a blank slate (things might be different if you come from Vim, but even when I used Vim regularly I never used the editing language that much exactly because I could never remember the damn thing).
And having mentioned Kakoune it’d probably be unfair to then not mention Helix[2]. It has a very similar editing language, but it’s a fairly anti-Unix everything-bolted-in affair on the inside (“everything works out of the box” being the advertising take) compared to Kakoune’s Acme-inspired no-scripting scripting (there’s an ex-style command to exec a user program that can then drive the editor over stdio RPC, a set of hooks, and that’s it). So if you’ve come for the Plan 9 feels, I don’t expect Helix to be that appealing. It’s still a good editor, nevertheless.

What is the best book for complete beginner?
You can take a look at kakoune. The source code (excluding documentations, test cases, customizations etc.) is less than 40k. It is, IMHO, a show case of a C++ project in use.

Why Kakoune
> I wonder if the author has ever heard of vis[0]
Yes.

Not very motivated for such a harsh critic..

Understanding the Origins and the Evolution of Vi and Vim
I've been using Vim for years, but if there was one thing I could change, it would be the verb-noun order. The Kakoune[1] editor behaves mostly like Vim, but where Vim has `dw` as "delete word", Kakoune has it backwards: `wd`.
It might sound minor, but by placing the range first, Kakoune can give a preview of what will be changed. The longer or more complicated the command, the more this feature shines.
Strictly better as far as I know. A shame my muscle memory, and all default installations, are still stuck with Vim.
