I would love a modern Emacs with a better modern GUI similar to Zeds.

Takes very little time to configure, new languages work with LSP in a few seconds, support for headless neovim, nice gui with good font rendering in macos, decent git integration, window management is good and can be customised to use vim bindings.

Pretty much does everything you would want whereas I have a bunch of problems with emacs and neovim that stop me using them full time. Ideally I'd use emacs but it has performance issues with my giant typescript codebase I work onfor my job.

Webstorm kept crashing and grinding to a halt on my codebase. Vscode and neovim didn't have that issue so that's what I use now.

I'm on mac so unfortunately not, I've done a lot of hacking to get my fonts looking mostly correct though.

I've noticed a lot of screenshots and screenshares of people using emacs look similarly blurry though including the screenshots in this blog post.

As much as I love emacs beautifying it almost seems redundant when the font rendering and symbols are so blurry and ugly anyway

If the trolley problem involved 1 human and like 50 cats I'd probably save the cats.

Not to say animals are more important than humans but I imagine for most people it'd depend on the scale. Same reason most people are uncomfortable with the suffering of millions of animals for the sake of cosmetics.
