I love the focus the terminal brings, besides the solid benefit of scriptability/automation that’s not possible with most GUI apps.

I’ve recently rediscovered emacs and now use it as my primary tool for development. I already loved working in the terminal for git and xcodebuild so it’s felt natural.

Moving editing and workflow into emacs has been great so far. I’m already customizing things. Even using eshell! Excited to look into other things like a music player or email app. Or even slack like the author: https://github.com/yuya373/emacs-slack
