#TIL that you can ask APT to install some packages and uninstall others in a single invocation.
To do that, add a + or - symbol to the end(!) of the package name(s). For example,
apt install neovim emacs-

apt remove neovim+ emacs
both do the same thing: Install Neovim and remove Emacs in a single operation.
