I use Emms for listening to music. But I will pimp emacs more when I have customised my Gentoo installation more

i tried helm but it feels pretty far away from the "emacs way" though i don't have anything to back that up.
what do you like about it over the builtin fuzzy completion or ido?
what sort of languages?

Why use emacs when vi or nano exist?

I like the built-in fuzzy completion. It also just feels nicer than the typical M-x without differing dramatically from it in spirit.
>what sort of languages?
The ones that come immediately to mind are Coq, Idris, Standard ML, and Ur/Web (I like ML-style and dependently typed languages). Rust and RedPRL (no, I'm not an SJW or commie) are good in Emacs but are actually better in Visual Studio Code, unfortunately.

Can emacs be a decent replacement for libreoffice?
William Reed
How is it different?
Jack Williams
It depends on what you're doing. Surprisingly yes for planning books or manuscripts or keeping a (hidden) agenda. You can also do spreadsheet shit with SES. Not in general, though.
Julian Myers
Yep, using org-mode
