how is your school going?

For example instead of using projectile or find file inside emacs I can just use fzf from the cli

I don’t see any advantages, only downsides. The great thing about Emacs is the consistency. Autocompletion (ivy/vertico/etc), actions(ivy/embark), help(ivy-rich/marginalia) - it’s all here, with the same shortcuts.

if you already use a graphical terminal emulator - why just don’t use GUI Emacs?
