I started using Emacs simply because there was no other editor or IDE which had good Clojure (my language of choice at the time) support. After a while, I started noticing how sluggish IDE’s and electron-based editors are. I’m now a vim user, but my most used features are «intellisense», go to definition, find references and ctrl-p. I guess these are the things Carmack refers to being of value? I also appriciate spending less time moving my right hand between my keyboard and trackpad for ergonomic reasons. In addition, I have a more snappy editor than most of my colleagues. What I don’t have is a good integrated debugger or refactoring support. The latter i never made much use of anyway and the former i’ve never minded being a seperate tool.
