This is awesome. But one question as I'm not so familiar with emacs: Why do they punish someone when trying to use emacs but not vi? Why do you see emacs as something works?
it always entertains me when a vim aficionado regurgitates the "just missing a good editor" joke, given that one of the editors Emacs offers is a pretty comprehensive clone of vim.
(personally, I never had any problem with the default editor when I migrated to it from vi, though I was using a keyboard that already had ctrl next to a.)
I've really been enjoying Helix, which took a lot of inspiration (including key binds, mostly) from Kakoune. It's just missing a plugin system to be perfect, but built in LSP support is soo nice

Not sure, but I think emacs at least used to have a reputation as a resourse hog and bloated. So maybe that?

I really f'ing love Emacs, and... this is true. I'm still constantly learning, 3 decades in.
But that's part of its appeal - it's a constantly evolving, you tweak and modify it for your needs, and you grow and change together.

I'm afraid to see it's comeback for nano.
