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.

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.

What is the appeal of the 'start menu' in so many desktop environments?
You'll probably like rofi.
-
Possible to filter clipboard when using `unamedplus`?
Also, I use this script so that Rofi will show my clipboard instead of the native klipper UI (because it's far less keyboard friendly). Normally the script works great, but the script chokes whenever I `dd` an empty line or a lone `\`, putting an empty entry on my clipboard, which the wrapper than assumes means I'm at the end of the list of clipboard entries.

Rofi dry run
Which rofi you run? The original one from https://github.com/davatorium/rofi (which is Xorg base, so it has to start XWayland) or the Wayland-based fork on https://github.com/lbonn/rofi?

What's your recommended launcher app in your opinion?
I like rofi (super flexible, i also use it as a custom alt-tab option in openbox) and wofi is a nice option on wayland

xfce workplace switcher in polybar
Modi are covered in the documentation. They set what Rofi displays in its window. You can run Rofi from a keybind, or a module in Polybar, or by using click handlers. Extremely extensible and versatile. And a shit ton of fun to theme. :)
-
A sensible NixOS Xfce desktop configuration
xwinmosaic: Having tried XMonad.Actions.GridSelect in the past, I found the 2-dimensional grid more confusing than useful because you cannot intuit where it would lay things out. I find Rofi to be more usable for window switching because it prioritizes text filtering. https://github.com/davatorium/rofi
