I started using Emacs about a year ago and I love it!! The thing with Emacs is that you need to embrace Elisp, and the workflow of working inside a REPL. If you're someone who like to have things your way, and who are more comfortable with a programming language then a UI, Emacs is for you! I personally use Spacemacs in Holy mode with Ivy and my own customization and some custom layers. I find this to be a great combination. I use it for Clojure development with Cider and Java development with lsp-java. And for editing most files, like configs, scripts, bash files, json files, etc. I also use it for notes in org-mode. The only things I rely on a different editor is Vim and less for dealing with large files like log files, and Notepad++ for when I need to do fancy search and replace stuff especially if the file is large.
