I see this "Emacs is terrible, my (insert currently hyped IDE/editor) is much better" mantra every few years. These days, it is VSCode, few years ago it was atom/pycharm/intellij, before that was anything on Eclipse platform... Yet, I need to see status of any these after 40 years. Emacs is like a turtle - it isn't flashy and trendy, looks weird and old, but is still going steadily and strongly. And I bet you'll be able to run your configuration 10 years ago, for the next 20 years without any problems. I'd say, if you don't like Emacs, use something else. Usually everyone returns back to either Emacs, Vi(m) or Sam at some point. True hackers will go to ed - ed is the standard text editor after all :)
