>I believe opening within Emacs should be the default - as many Emacs users aim to do everything within Emacs.
I believe it's actually only a very vocal, very misguided minority that tries to do everything in emacs. Emacs is objectively inferior to existing alternatives for:
- IMAP
- viewing and especially annotating PDFs
- Browsing the web
- working with LLM agents
- multiplayer text editing (crdt.el is trash)
- working with rich text documents like .docx
- working with spreadsheets
- notebook rendering (org vs md and jupyter are definitely a "worse is better" situation)
etc.
It is not sane to assume the user wants to do everything in emacs. Emacs is bad at lots of things and that's okay.
