I'm a long time fan of David Williams' demos on the channel. Emacs Solo was quite inspiring in that it made me want to seriously adopt it for a month or two just to see if I could be productive in it without all the zillions of bells and whistles I've gotten used to over the years.
VS Code with Emacs keybindings was another tangent I was looking at recently.
Very nice to see him using eshell, which is a highly underrated shell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xLeqwl_7n0
With time, I find myself relying less and less on tmux and scripts, while increasingly using Elisp macros, Eshell, and Emacs-based applications more generally.
Those who see Emacs as a mere editor or as the ancestor of VS Code may also want to read these:
