One of the nice thing about emacs is that I can use the GUI with all modern features and still have the same keybindings and features when working on a remote server/computer. Even if emacs was huge before I was born, it is very lightweight for today. Atom and VS code are built with electron, which makes them much slower and heavier on RAM. Visual Studio is like a proprietary notepad++ with a gigabyte per feature it has over notepad++ (C++ compiler, Python tools, etc.).
