        The comment is about the screenshot. I know that you can spend 5000 hours to make some of this working, but that is not the point. Point is that OP is shilling an editor and all these things are missing from her screenshot.

      >no minimap
      Minimaps in IDE's are a meme, no one actually uses them. If you need to find something, you'll Ctrl+F for it, not look on the minimap for the shape of the code block you want.
      >no built-in terminal emulator
      I just use a separate, better terminal for when I'm running my code. If you're a zoomer with 2+ monitors because you think that many monitors are mandatory for productivity, you should already have enough room for a separate terminal to be open, make the Discord window smaller if you need to make room for it.
      >no intellisense
      I already disable automatic closing of parentheses and brackets and you expect me to use a tool that automatically closes my code?

      I use VSC by the way

      >No idea what this is
      My guess is he meant the editor showing you symbols for whitespace, new lines, etc.; I'd be really surprised if Emacs doesn't come with a feature like that that's even present in Notepad++.

            A code minimap is a small, simplified visual representation of an entire file, providing an overview of the file structure at a glance without need to scroll it.

    Great advice but don't forget to install "which key" and also vertico I really don't know why the fuck these 2 packages are not preinstalled out of the box (But I think vertico already preinstalled in Emacs 29 iirc)

      To get things included into the Emacs source code you have to sign a bunch of annoying paperwork to reassign copyright rights to the FSF and not many people really want to bother with that process vs just hacking on their extension without that added stress.

    When I put my 8th gen i7 laptop in battery saver mode, vscode and emacs both noticeably gain some sluggishness in the UI.
    For vscode, that's expected because it's a fucking electron app.
    For Emacs, this is mind boggling. Isn't ancient software supposed to be good on slow CPUs?
    Neovim, even with a fuckload of bloated plugins, is comparatively way more comfy on a low clock rate.

      not really.
      vscode and emacs are both bytecode interpreters under the hood. for vscode its javascript, for emacs its elisp.

    What is the thing that is adding those lines in the buffer separating stuff? Also is that treemacs on the left side?

    why would anyone need the sidebar dir. tree meme "feature" if fuzzy finders (for project global file name search and grep) and in-window dir. browsers like dirvish (for buffer-relative browsing) exist?

    is it a meme to attract noobs who never actually used programs like (n)vim or emacs and expect the ui to mirror vscode?

    just hit f10 if you want the menu

    works in pure text mode, will call up the menu under your cursor if your emacs is in a windowing system, etc

    also turn off scroll bars, you don't need that shit
