I really like Emacs' flexibility + evil-mode and reactivity, recently I searched for something similar and found Lem: https://github.com/lem-project/lem, looks promising, I'll try it out and compare with Emacs when I have the chance and time.
I really like this, it's a bit hardcore, but for someone that really cares about efficiency (whether it is worth it or not - debatable), this is great. Though I have one minor nit against one point, that I've seen basically in every similar article: > This means no arrow keys and no mouse I use Neovim daily, and there is no denying that 98% of the time, using mouse is less efficient than doing a fancy search or jump.…

How using a mouse and incurring a context switch is better than just mashing j/k a couple of times in worst case scenario?
I've used Emacs for 20 years and I never learnt to navigate in a file except backwards and forwards search. Is there still hope for me? I think my biggest issue is that I am a slow coder and I never feel in a hurry.
My favorite way to move around in Emacs, and to move text around, is via avy-mode: https://github.com/abo-abo/avy . If you have not experienced avy-mode, give it a try, I think you will wonder how you ever got along without it.
What I love about functionality like this is it's completely generic. It's just text. I don't need any lsp support to get me "go to def" or something. I can open a file in a language I've never seen before and use the exact same interface I'm used to to navigate around.

This is definitely true. The thing is that using the mouse is a habit, and until you break it, people find themselves instinctively using it in situations where it would be better to use the keyboard. So the 'hard' mouse disable is more of a 'going cold-turkey' type thing to try and break the habit. I agree that once it's broken it makes sense to relax this.

Disagree with this just because it makes everything else easier. The more you stick to common key bindings, the more intuitive various packages will be. Eg navigating lines vs blocks in a magit diff block is C-n and N respectively. Copying a full hash is M-w. All these bindings are intuitive “overlays” on conventional bindings. Emacs shines when packages combine to form a whole greater than the sum of its parts. Chan…
Firefox opens a new window when I press C-n. Is this a setting that you have to enable?
