I've only been using Emacs for 7 or 8 years, but in my admittedly limited experience, Protesilaos has singlehandedly done more to bring more people into the community than anyone. He's been a huge advocate for composability in packages, through use of the core Emacs functions, allowing incredible flexibility without being locked into a particular library (e.g. Helm / Ivy).

I'm always curious to see what he's been up to!

Prot continuing to be thorough in his work, write clearly, and produce very useful stuff for Emacs operators. This guide looks very interesting (even for slightly-above-beginner Emacsers like myself).

It's great to see Prot over here! His work it's top notch, I've learnt a lot with him. Also it has really affordable Emacs coaching sessions.

A lot of this should be made into Emacs default settings. (Like the others, I’m happy to see posts by Prot as usual.)

Awesome! use-package is also now built in as of Emacs 29.

Oh wow does this one make me feel stupid. I've spent eons doing a C-x o C-x o C-x o... dance every time there's some bugging-out minibuffer prompt. It *never once* occurred to me to reflect on that as a "I'm doing it wrong!" issue.
