I've used emacs ever since college. I've tried a bunch of IDEs, VSCode, Sublime, Atom, even vim. They just never felt as comfortable as emacs in the terminal. I'm probably in the minority since, despite a decade-plus of use, I'm by no means a power user. I use a little bit of org-mode and babel here and there. I can hack around in elisp if I want to tweak a mode. But that's about it. To be honest, I don't even compile code or navigate the directory tree from inside emacs. That being said, two reasons I don't think I'll ever switch. One, the key bindings and commands just feel more elegant. Don't know if that's because they're locked into my muscle memory, or they're genuinely better. Two is that I live in the terminal. IDEs are great, but I much prefer just piping find to grep to sed or similar bash-fu, when I need to do something fancy.
