- Concentration of power/attention/market share/etc. can lead to abuse
- Competing ecosystems push each to get better
- Different tools can be good at solving different problems (e.g. different LLMs may be good as solving different tasks)
- Allows people to use tools they're more comfortable with (e.g. worked at one company where everyone was forced to use vim, needless to say I didn't want to stay there long)
Just wanna say that since I found joyride, I’ve had a lot more fun with vscode. It p much lets you write clojurescript that has access to the vscode extension API.
Been an emacs user for decades so my config is a huge pile of hacks. Which is why I find it very hard to get rid of other editors; with emacs I can just hack whatever when I get annoyed, with vscode, I have to jump through hoops and then it mostly it's insanely hard compared.
The Emacs ecosystem has never been better! I think it's always a good thing to have a polyculture of dev tools.

It’s not quite emacs, but it scratches the itch
Curious to know if you're using an existing emacs config layer like doom, or rolling your own?
Also what's your reasoning behind this?
