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;

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.

Home row mods for sequences and Emacs
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.
- Anyone tried a heavily customized key-map for evil mode?

∑ 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).

- BEAKL – Balanced Effortless Advanced Keyboard Layout
-
Beakl-HC - No more pinky and ring finger pain!
BEAKL is actually an acronym for Balanced Effortless Advanced Keyboard Layout. Being yet another attempt to find the most efficient and ergonomic keyboard layout, the development of this experimental layout emphasises the use of our stronger fingers (index, middle and ring finger) to lead the typing rhythm in order to achieve an overall effortless typing experience. The reason for this is that they are faster, more versatile, and less prone to fatigue (exposed through Beakl's foundational effort grid), which allows us typists to achieve high speeds with less effort when compared to layouts that disregard this point.

Optimal layout for vim
For English text/prose, I think there might be better layouts such as [a Hands Down variant](alanreiser.com/handsdown/), BEAKL variants, etc., etc.

BEAKL for corne?
It tries to do a lot of things, most notably finger use and finger strength. You can read more about it in these 2 link if you're interested. https://deskthority.net/wiki/BEAKL https://ieants.cc/beakl/index.php#beakl

What is the difference between DVORAK, COLEMAK, and other layouts?
There are many options, some of Carpalx layouts, Beakl, Engram, Halmak and HIEAMTSRN all have vowels on one side, but otherwise have very little in common and kind of take 5 different approaches to layout optimization.

Orthocarpus layout
Interesting. Do you have a KLA (json) profile I could download to test against the likes of BEAKL-15 etc. Other than going for a very cryptic layout like "X1 Ergolinear" (that differentiate between lower case and upper case letter layout - making it very hard to learn), I could not find layout that beats BEAKL-15 on English and programming text. And when I say text, I mean a lot of variety - not just one set of text. I took the avg wins of a lot of text. I also use BEAKL-15 with my Ergodox keyboard layout in KLA.
