A feasible lightweight replacement for heavy load IDEs

It is lightweight, both in terms of GUI usability and computing resources. It can be used as a terminal or a windowed application in most of desktop platforms. But what brings it to excellence is how easily extensible Emacs is. The concept of mode allow getting syntax highlighting and shortcuts for most of the languages and text file formats used today, the user just have to use its great package system to fetch the language mode plugin. Besides, there are solutions such us Spacemacs or Prelude with pre-sets including most useful packages and customisations, providing a fully productive IDE solution out-of-the-box.

A bare-bone dxf-based CAD

It's a simple, portable and free 2D CAD. It reads and writes dxf, an universal format, good to exchange geometric data, and fundamental informations like text and dimensions, but not highly elaborate drawings. It also exports PDFs. SVGs, and bitmaps. The most advanced users could like the possibility to customize it, hack it and copy it, since it is Open Source. The interface is highly customizable.
