Exactly, if it wasn't for the community building and maintaining great packages like org/magit/lsp-mode etc, I would've dumped Emacs long ago. Building that as someone who has other responsibilities than editor hacking is just a non-starter, so I stick with Emacs despite it's event-loop-blocking quirks because of it.

I wonder if there will be a way to sidestep these limitations or if something in the language semantics would forbid it (e.g. the way Python is basically limited with the GIL because current updates are basically not tolerated by the semantics).
