I'm relatively young and for me Emacs isn't a fossil just because there isn't a better alternative I've found for taking notes than Org mode. This is especially true if you want to embed LaTeX or code into your notes (and even execute it). As I've gotten into learning Lisp and using Magit occasionally I can't think of a an editor that's more versatile in its extensibility or offers a Git interface on Magit's level (although I still mostly use command line). I did rebind a lot of stuff to more common shortcuts, with the exception of C-c just because it was too much work. This may be more of an argument for Emacs as a general editor than IDE specifically however.
