What are the small reasons to try Emacs?

• emacs-for-vimmers

  17 63 2.0 Emacs Lisp

  Introduction Emacs config, for developers used to Vim.

Suggest to start off with a small vim-like config if doom or spacemacs aren't for you (see emacs-for-vimmers).

• vim-lion

  6 488 0.0 Vim Script

  A simple alignment operator for Vim text editor

Not out of the box, but the are several plugins that can do it, I prefer https://github.com/tommcdo/vim-lion

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• emacs-vdiff

  4 207 2.9 Emacs Lisp

  Like vimdiff for Emacs

Not a com user but I’ve been happy with vdiff for diff/merge operations.

• lispy

  21 1,184 0.0 Emacs Lisp

  Short and sweet LISP editing

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.
