"in the spirit of continuous improvement, I recently embarked on a quest for re-evaluation and potential enhancement."
Oh boy, wait until you discover that Emacs can do terminal emulation, terminal multiplexing, text editing, file management, and app launching, all configurable and scriptable with a single, powerful programming language... and allows you to record keyboard macros that run across all of the above features. You'll go down a rabbit hole from which you will never emerge.
You are both correct. I also read my RSS feeds in Emacs (which includes my YouTube subscriptions), manage my knowledge database with org-roam, use Mastodon on it, and sometimes chat on IRC or matrix with Emacs.

All it misses is a good text editor, but you can run Vim in it.

So, then it isn't missing a good text editor. Install Doom Emacs or Spacemacs instead of the usual Emacs, and you have all you need.

Can't you even do your emails in emacs?

I believe tetris is included.

I use kbin rather then lemmy, and the kbin API isn't complete, but looks like there's lemmy support in:

Admire the Emacs spirit, but vim has been imprinted on my mind for decades. =)

I'll just say two things: Doom Emacs or Spacemacs, and I'll just shut up now.
