GNU Emacs
The ever-popular Emacs, at least popular enough to be used by 4.5% of the respondents from the Stack Overflow survey of 2019. It is one of the usual symbol of extensibility and roam:Free software due to its ecosystem of plugins and extensions integrating Emacs. It also allows the user to customize anything within it.
To show how extensible it is, here is a list of extensions that may as well be an entirely new application altogether:
- Entirely new spaced repetition on top of Org mode.
- Implementation of Roam Research with Org mode documents.
- Comprehensive Git client.
- Window managers inside Emacs.
Among other things, it is also where Org mode documents are often written from as well as making use of Org mode: Babel as a component for Reproducible research.
People have been building it with complex workflows all in one environment. In a way, Emacs is an entire operating system by itself.
As a complex text editor, you can start with Using the built-in help system of Emacs.
