Minimal Emacs? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I have been using vim for forever and I have dabbled in using emacs throughout the years. Emacs with the evil mode bindings is very comfortable, and I prefer org-mode over markdown (at least for the type of notes I do).

The main thing that stops me from using emacs though is how bloated it is. I don't want the games, web browser, email client, etc. Is there a way to remove those features from a standard install or from source?

Edit: I guess I'll stick with vim for now. It looks like Neovim might be more what I'm looking for instead of Emacs

Ha, probably not. It has a macro language (not lisp, but Turing complete AFAIK) with language bindings, syntax highlighting & customizable indentation... to be honest I never got into emacs, so I don't even really know what org mode is :).
