I've been using Emacs for 15y, I can't replace it. Emacs-server is just amazing for me.

I truly believe that its weakness is elisp, it's not hard but at the same time it's not a language you want to learn or spend time with, so of course that means less packages, less support and less interest in customizing it well.

Other than that, I would be quite happy to see a modern version, with support for another scripting language and maybe dropping all these UI features, like menubar, toolbar etc.

If we acknowledge there's a learning curve, the UI buttons are non essential. VSC & others are probably better at this.
