So, for me, a substantial amount of the benefit of using emacs software packages is that I’ve spent a lot of time learning emacs functionality, and so if I use software in emacs, then I get to continue using all of that functionality. Like, I can set bookmarks, reconfigure colors, bounce around by paragraphs or searching for text, have elaborate completion functionality, macros, stuff like that.
Yes but so does my os. Everything emacs can do, my os already does. I don’t get emacs.

Everything emacs can do, my OS can as well. Emacs is my OS
As the saying goes, EMacs is a great operating system, the only thing it’s missing is a good text editor
