A lot of people like kakoune for the multicursors and word/action design, but for me the best part is how well it is to integration with other tools!  
Sometime If I need some kind of automation, I’ll just quickly hack a script for that with my favorite language . 30min later I’m back to work and I can call my plugin with kakoune’s `!` shell piping

@gustavo-hms said in [another post](https://discuss.kakoune.com/t/array-iterator-and-looping-behaviour-in-kak-script/1287/12) that programming is all about community. I feel that joining kakoune community was joining a community that have great taste and share the same value I believe in.
