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.

Table-style horizontal code auto-formatting / syntax
I use vim-lion for this. But generally, I don't like aligning things like this, as it makes the code more effort to write and maintain in any editor that isn't set up exactly how I have mine set up.

What are the small reasons to try Emacs?
Not out of the box, but the are several plugins that can do it, I prefer https://github.com/tommcdo/vim-lion
-
Good use cases for replace mode?
If you want to rename short_var without having to redo the spaces, you can use R to type over it. Though personally, I avoid writing my code like this and use vim-lion for alignment when I have to. 99% of the time, I use ce or ciw to rename variables.

align.nvim - A minimal plugin to align your lines to a certain character, string, or Lua pattern
it's always nice to reference the "state of the art" / competition in the README. It helps the user get a better idea what the software is about. For instance https://github.com/tommcdo/vim-lion

Emacs nazis took over, only allowing Vimmers 3 plugins. Which ones?

How to make Vim insert spaces after pressing Tab, in *multiple* of tabwidth?
There's also a third option: use a plugin designed for automatically doing whitespace text alignment. Personally, I use vim-lion for this. In your example, you would hit glip= (align text inside the current paragraph by inserting spaces to the left of the first =). The default configuration aligns with the maximum spacing currently used, but you can also configure it to use the minimum spacing necessary to align all the lines.

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?

Let's share your top 3 packages that you can't live without.
Without any order magit, lispy and minions.
- paredit.vim – Paredit Mode: Structured Editing of Lisp S-Expressions

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?
nvim-peekup - 👀 dynamically interact with vim registers
smartparens - Minor mode for Emacs that deals with parens pairs and tries to be smart about it.
vim-editorconfig - Yet another EditorConfig (http://editorconfig.org) plugin for vim written in vimscript only
parinfer-rust - A Rust port of parinfer.
vim-easy-align - :sunflower: A Vim alignment plugin
symex.el - An intuitive way to edit Lisp symbolic expressions ("symexes") structurally in Emacs
tabular - Vim script for text filtering and alignment
emacs-config - My personal Emacs configuration
emacs-vdiff - Like vimdiff for Emacs
babashka - Native, fast starting Clojure interpreter for scripting
objed - Navigate and edit text objects with Emacs. Development on pause.
evil-textobj-tree-sitter - Tree-sitter powered textobjects for evil mode in Emacs
