Is GNU Emacs still worth it?


Seems like with all AI-enabling and just works out of the box experiences with VSCode and alike, makes GNU Emacs absolete. I'm aware of AI packages for GNU Emacs, but don't think is worth the investiement so much; I would mostly save it for org mode, TUI, and some other few packages. But for programming, it doesn't seem lile worth the investment, and use VSCode instead.

Emacs will always be worth the effort. In years to come, it will be those who learned rather than used "assistants" who will know things.
