    A Collection of Ridiculously Useful eXtensions for Emacs (by bbatsov)

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

  • objed

    Navigate and edit text objects with Emacs. Development on pause.

  • I like the semi-modal editing package objed (short for textual object editor)

  • WorkOS

    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.
