It's kmacros, wgrep (with ripgrep) and wdired that keep me using it....

VSCode / VSCodium have really pulled me away from it a lot this year though, after ~30 years.

Yeah, I like a lot about VS code and it feels far less annoying to use. It just sucks that there's no undo equivalent to undo-tree, the Git equivalents are not up to snuff (I just end up using CLI, which is fine I guess). But gptel is also super useful, and there's no good VS code equivalent I've found for that either.

wgrep is nice, I use it very rarely but its useful. I did not know about wdired, looking that up now, looks very cool, you are NOT helping me escape this damned editor..
