However, with the rapid rise of large language models and AI-driven development tools, how might Emacs evolve to seamlessly integrate these technologies—such as AI-assisted refactoring, code completion, and knowledge management—while still preserving its core values of extensibility, user freedom, and community-driven innovation?
Other tools seem to have better AI integration. I might be wrong.
Packages will fill the gap. There are no shortage of AI experiments/packages out there. I author one. https://lmno.lol/alvaro/chatgpt-shell-goes-multi-model
Like, no one would need to form Emacs to support all of the features Cursor provides. VSCode had to be forked and lost a considerable user-base to it.
Then there is org-mode containing a record of everything I worked on with all my notes, executable scripts, all my time tracking information, org-roam notes, auto-generated request libraries using the verb package, literate API request documents for each micro service, etc.
It's such a good feeling when every tool can interact with any other tool in a variety of ways and that in a few keypresses you can modify and fix anything.
