Any tool or technology requires an investment. It just depends on how much you want to spend on it. You do not need to be an emacs guru to use emacs. Just learn the basics,downloads some pkgs, use what other people already built for you. Hell I never ever wrote a line of elisp but I am able to glue things together so It does what I want. But you are right if a tool is just as good in its default configuration then it's harder to justify the investments to learn another one. On the other hand Emacs has been here for dozens of years and it still mostly works and behaves the same. )

What if I don't want to make that investment, because otherwise I have to make 1000 investments for glue code projects

  That's quite an exaggeration, there's already written packages in emacs for lots of programming languages. Just need to add the package to your config.
