Ask HN: Do you keep Emacs installed out of nostalgia rather than usefulness?

Maybe you use Visual Studio Code but occasionally run emacs anyway out of nostalgia and curiosity to see what is new?

Mostly for Org-mode. Even though modern editors and lightweight alternatives handle daily coding smoothly, Org-mode's plain-text outlining, agenda management, and workflow structure are still hard to fully replace anywhere else.

Why would I use something inferior to emacs in the first place? :)

I use Emacs for everything ;) Other tools just feel wrong, to be honest. I am so accustomed to my handcrafted environment I have created in Emacs!
