What's the difference between all the available text selection in emacs

Starting my journey in emac I found about textobjec in evil and I liked the idea of selecting text or maybe selecting text between tags ...etc. As result, I start searching I stumble on: 1. textobjec config from doom emacs. 2. Traget.el 3. evil-textobj-tree-sitter.el 4. Objed.el However, it is confusing with all these packages and for newbie the difference is hard to understand. All I want is to select text, line, sentence, paragraph, block, text between tags, functions etc. My initial thought is that the 3rd options seems interesting but I think it doesn't support org syntax and I can't select lines, paragraphs with it. P.s: I use evil 🙈

If your an evil user I would recommend checking out vim keybindings and check if they have the same functionality. You aren't guaranteed that another package has support for evil mode. Good luck!
