  3. Emacs configuration similar to Spacemacs but faster and lighter.
    I don't really know what you do with your text editor, but Emacs (and vim) are very much not "low-level" editors unless you chose to not configure them. Emacs has all the features of VScode, plus more. And it keeps expanding by each day. A "fully featured" Emacs "IDE" is also just as laggy, sometimes even more, as any other "fully featured" IDE. Some Emacs configs even take tens of seconds to load! Mine however takes 1.5s, but that is because everything is lazily loaded. The first time I open a C++ file, it takes a couple seconds. A really nice easy to use framework for getting productive in Emacs quickly is Doom[1]. You should give it a peak if you think Emacs is "low-level". [1] https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs.
