please tell me more about the good things you do with emacs

i edit text with it, sometimes in ascii, mostly in unicode. sometimes i do serious programming, but generally i use a modern/purpose built IDE for that.

i dont need to touch a mouse to use it. i know how to reach all the commands i need. if I need to edit some code that doesn't have a really powerful IDE tool, emacs is my go to.

sometimes when I need to ssh into a server and edit text (although that rarely happens these days), i can use emacs for that. it's really good at that.

i used vim for several years before emacs and exclusively use vim mode in emacs (which is much better than vim).

love vim when im editing a file, but i cant stand using bash in vi mode instead of the default emacs mode

does anyone know somebody who uses emacs for files, but sets their bash to vi mode? i cant imagine such a person actually exists

i dunno, i use zsh in vimode and emacs and it's fine.
