I don't think using a text editor is limiting, using an IDE certainly is. When using Visual Studio, you're definitely limited to Windows. When you're using an IDE, they lock you into a certain set of paradigms. An editor like Vim or Emacs ia great because eventually _the editor adapts itself to the programmer and not the other way around_. Every other configuration of Emacs and Vim have been different, suiting the programmer writing it. People have distros of Emacs/Vim - Doom - Spacemacs - NeoVim Etc.
