Indeed, I'm using Emacs for Code, reading/writing documents and emails, as well as consuming RSS feeds. The ecosystem and values that underpin Emacs are fantastic - in my personal case the only downside to heavy use of Emacs is that it can struggle to utilise my hardware. This tends to be particularly noticeable when using TRAMP and Eglot, or producing large org tables.


Running emacs in tmux over SSH can be faster than TRAMP. TRAMP gets very biggy when you have a lot of third-party elisp extensions.
