I'm pretty new compared to most people, only have been writing code for about 4 years, with emacs and vim having been around much longer than I've even been alive. But I've always found vim to be just that an editor. I personally love it, it can do nearly anything related to editing. Atom/vscode seem like an attempt to make omni-IDE's for every language. Overall not sure what's better, it seems people compare tools such as intellij, which is aimed at a specific language (I'm only referring to java here, I know it has many other languages supported and tools built off of it), with other tools such as atom/vscode which are aimed at being almost a weaker in some aspects IDE allowing for it to be used for all work. Than this is also compared to vim, which is in my opinion the best editor, but it's just the best at that. If you want refactoring, or many other features vim isn't the best tool for the job, although you can always hack whatever in if you needed it. Can't really speak for emacs here though, as I've never learned more than the basics of it yet, it seems like a completely different beast. Overall, just always seems sorta silly to me how these tools are compared like you can't use them all, why not leave intellij open for its features, with vim open to do any quick editing needed for example? Seems like it's always "you can only have one or the other" with the way people describe it.
