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.

Software development is not carpentry. Almost everything a developer writes is unique, they have never built that particular thing before. We are not cabinet makers repeating a variation of something we've built hundreds of times before.

Ask HN: Best way to experiment with text text editing?
To build on what others are saying about Emacs, if you start exploring the package ecosystem, you're going to see quite a lot of really interesting packages that are related to improving/experimenting with the UX of editing text. While I'm not endorsing anyone in particular, I think what this list does show is just how easy it is to do pretty much whatever you want in Emacs;

https://github.com/Kungsgeten/ryo-modal

Emacs 29 also now has treesitter and LSP mode integration built-in, a compilation mode, a comint mode for REPLs, excellent file browsing packages (I use dired/dirvish), and a few other killer features.
Now, if what you truly dislike are "quirky editors", prepare yourself for a world of hurt because vanilla Emacs departs quite a bit from "modern" text editors. I struggled with this for a while, but eventually by buying into the paradigm, I now feel that when emacs try emulating "modern" IDE features like autocompletion, LSP, and DAP UI, I feel like it's a regression, not a progression. The point here is that you might have an "idea" of what good initial UX and lack of quirks would look like, but Emacs might change the way you think.

Is the dygma raise right for me?
Another consideration is that some editors make heavy use of key chords, which aren't so ergo friendly. Emacs in particular is notorious with how it uses the Ctrl key. I highly recommend switching to an editor with modal keybindings like NeoVim, or alternatively, your existing editor may have a Vim keybindings mode or extension. For instance Emacs has Evil mode and xah-fly-keys. Another route to circumventing chords is you can use one-shot modifiers (aka sticky modifiers) or define macros.

More radically, you might find a modal interface easier and more comfortable to use with HRMs, like Vim's, or staying within Emacs, using Evil mode or Xah fly keys.

Share Your 'other-window' Commands
I use xah-fly-keys. In command mode, on a QWERTY keyboard, the comma key moves the cursor to the next window.

∑ Xah Code
> Long love ergomacs!
I recently stumbled over, and started using (and modifying) Xah's "xah-fly-keys" emacs bindings, which are a somewhat more radical implementation of the ideas behind ergoemacs (e.g. use Emacs without any "chording", i.e. without ever having to press two keys at once apart from shift+letter).

Emacs 29 is nigh What can we expect?
For those still on 28, crux-rename-file-and-buffer does the same thing (https://github.com/bbatsov/crux). I've been using it for half a decade at this point. This sort of command, that no other code will rely on, was never that important to get into core, and there's some merit in making people create the commands they needed. It's not like with the additions to subr and subr-x libraries (string-replace, string-search etc), which can't come fast enough.

I'll go with crux. It's not all about text editing, but it's got a lot of commands in dwim-fashion.

Possible to learn emacs org mode in 15 - 30 hours?
I learned the syntax of org-mode in an hour (maybe less), It has many superiorities to markdown (see this excellent essay). Emacs is a fully-featured tool, it's a lifetime of learning, just like all extremely powerful tools, you can see the blogs of many emacs experts like Bozhidar, Protesilaos, Karl Voit (to name a few) learning new features of Emacs quite regularly.
