    A lot of the Emacs language modes have been replaced with tree-sitter equivalents now.

      That’s not what I want though. I really enjoy jumping around the actual syntax tree of the code, e.g. “select the entire function body” or “select the next list element”, stuff like this. It becomes the natural way of traversing the code after a short while. Also, Emacs is still single-threaded and thus quite laggy and slow at times; however I do like it a lot and have used it for a number of years (with evil-mode), before finally jumping to my own editor and then helix.
