Looks like another unreadable black hole of nothingness. God, I wish this trend would hurry up and run its course.

Ironically, I understand what the "unreadable black hole of nothingness" is perfectly. But I have no idea what your comment means.

The "Emacs doesn't have a file-tree" is when I stopped short and wondered what this person's background is in IDEs.

My emacs days are 1999 during my "functional or get out" phase, but my .emacs had close to 4000 lines in it, including xterm mouse support, a clone of midnight commander + sftp to a wehbost and deep integration with ctags/cscope/c++filt. There was even a line by line debugger with custom .gdbinit commands - look at the php project's gdbinit[1] if you want an idea of how to walk your own super special data structures.

You can't put Emacs in an IDE comparison and say anything about features without at least one person saying "well, actually".

I eventually switched to vim but that had to do with needing to ssh into 100k+ machines on support rotation & never having emacs on any of them.

Now almost 90% of projects on GitHub including existing projects are now slop or are adding slop.

Many projects are getting contaminated with AI, and even Linux is getting contaminated with this.

There is a list of projects that have non-slop alternatives one can use instead.
