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

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.

How Hackerman would create an image just by typing 0 and 1 – a deep dive to GIF
There's a cute plugin[0] for Vim which converts any image to XPM, which is a similar format that Vim has syntax-coloring for. You can edit the text, and then on save, it will get converted back to the original format. I've used it a few times to quickly preview an image or edit a favicon. It's more of party trick than seriously useful, though.
