Emacs with vim keybindings. A lot of folks say the emacs or vim won't make you a better developer. I disagree - if you're a newer developer, then using either of these editors will make you a better developer; I'll explain why. Emacs and vim lend themselves to customization, hacking on, etc. What this does put you in a creator, rather than a consumer, mindset. Unlike a commercial IDE, if there's something your editor doesn't do or something you want to change, you often build the feature yourself, instead of asking or begging some company to add features.
That being said, neither of these editors will give you magic powers, and if you're looking for the lowest effort to benefit ratio, then you're better off with something like VS Code.
