I disagree. I came to Emacs from a combination of VSCode/Pycharms and Jupyter notebook. I think the latter are still held in highest regard in the IDE space. To this day there is nothing in another editor or IDE that I miss. I find that Emacs allows me to invest as much as I want into my tools: editor, notebook, document generator, and shell. If you are looking for a maximal out-of-the-box product, then sure Emacs will come up short. However if you are looking for a product that you can develop and use for a lifetime then personally I don't think any one piece of software comes close
NOTE: Emacs ecosystem has had support for multiple cursors for over a decade. Emacs (like Python) should not be valued in terms of built-in features, but in terms of its community and ecosystem
