    Honestly emacs is pretty decent for almost every text related task

    With emphasis on “pretty decent”. Personally my bar is higher than that…

      Idk, there’s a wide range of text related tasks. Some of those tasks, I would say emacs is very good at (like programming or taking notes), and others are good enough (like email and file management). The reason that I would want to use it for the worse tasks is that the text editing tools between the tasks are all the same and its all programmable.

      Its all personal preference though.
