I agree with you on that, which is why I am trying to become proficient in Emacs!! I've been using IntelliJ for many years, but I really want something lighter and emacs is perfect for that: I use it on a Raspberry Pi and it runs as fast as on my more powerful laptop. I use the GUI version of emacs though... I did try the terminal version but it just doesn't seem to make much sense to me (I miss the much more nicely rendered diffs, images etc) when I can use TRAMP to edit files on any machine (as long as you can ssh into it).
