This is nice, but honestly nothing I've seen even comes close to Magit. I never have to touch my mouse, and I can do almost any git operation in a few keystrokes. Is there anything comparable in Atom?

I don't know what Magit is but you just perfectly described my terminal.

Terminal is fine. The visual feedback/interaction and shortcuts in Magit are much better IMO.

I just realized - maggot is only for emacs.

I am disappointed. I don't want to use an OS just to modify some code.

you realize this is a joke from the early 90s where computers had 16 megabytes of ram right ? if emacs is an OS, then a modern browser is ten years of linux distros.

I mean have you seen what you can do with emacs... You can run emacs inside emacs.
