What is the best version of Emacs?

For me, I LOVE MicroEmacs.

Technically MicroEmacs is not really emacs. It’s just an editor with the same keys configurations.

In my personal opinion, if it is directly called an emacs-like editor and has emacs keybinds, I would consider it emacs.

But some people would disagree, and I understand that. I still put it there because I personally consider it a miniature version of emacs

Well, you’d say that. The whole poll is incorrect in my non-personal opinion, there are 2 versions of emacs, Gnu Emacs and XEmacs. The rest are just distros and micro is as much emacs as Visual Studio Code with an emacs extension.
