In all respect, but you are presumably a software developer. If someone approached you saying that language x is a mess, as they've copy-pasted around random code and changed configuration files they didn't understand. Would you accept that as valid criticism or told the person to actually learn their tools? Granted, Atom, Sublime, VSCode etc. are easier to start with because they expose customization through JSON files instead of a custom programming language. But if someone where to tell you that they didn't understand how multiple cursors worked in VSCode, you would tell them to learn their tools and send them a link to the relevant page of the documentation (if that). If you know your editor, adding functionality like multiple cursors is easy. The greatest strengths of extensible lightweight editors like VSCode and Emacs, is that such functionality is only a package away.
