I talked to someone about the extensibility of emacs, but the person I was speaking to assumed that any IDE is just as extensible by using Plug Ins.

Without turning the conversation into a university style lecture, what is one or two simple actions I can do in emacs to show someone what separates it from other IDES.

    Have them show their IDE’s scripting environment and how they can quickly prototype an automation for something annoying without even going the distance to write a full plugin and then bind that automation to a key.

    Then open org or something and show how you can write a version of Lispy for org outlines based on some predicates like org-at-heading-p.
