I agree with this. I used emacs in the late 90s through early 00s, and it worked great. I pretty much stick with BBEdit these days, because it works great for my personal workflow. I never got into vim: I only learned enough of it to edit config files and the like when I shell into a computer. The modern paradigm of running npm/brew/composer/webpack/whatever gimcrack tool that gets shoehorned into the build process has led a lot of people to the VSCode-ish side of things that make integrating these things easy. emacs tends to look like a well-appointed workshop with lots of good, sharp tools and a stack of raw lumber, whereas VSCode looks like a finished Chesterfield. It takes a certain sort of person to prefer the workshop over the finished piece, and I'm not sure you could ever change that.
