What are these things you have that makes Emacs a modern editor?

I have cua-mode and don't show startup message. What else do I need to modernize Emacs?

For your consideration, two Elisp packages I've written that focus on feature discoverability and use: Casual and Anju, both available from MELPA. You can read more about them at the following links: https://github.com/kickingvegas/casual https://github.com/kickingvegas/anju

treesitter (with easily installable grammars - a big pain point) / LSP integration OOTB / themability

Plus now agent integration (aka GPTEL)

Vertico feels like a must-have to me these days. I also like to have treemacs installed.

Apart from that, I don't have a lot I insist on, and my used emacs package space keeps shrinking.

That said lately I use lem more than I do GNU emacs.
