Well, that‘s a valid opinion and I am not telling anyone what tools to use. But as a senior I have seen many colleagues moving from one IDE du jour to the next and spending many hours of reconfiguring their tools while I just stuck to using Emacs all these years with a moderate shift of packages. I’ve been programming C, C++, Perl, JavaScript (and its various ECMA incarnations), React components, SQL and even Lua. Nowadays I am doing my terminal sessions from Emacs, too, and enjoy Tramp mode for tracing live bugs. Also, I started writing SQL change sets using org-mode which is really a killer for me now. Emacs is such a versatile programming tool and does not stop amazing me. VS Code looks so boring in comparison. Also my colleagues keep on whining about the CPU and memory consumption of their IDE that is quite large for, well, ultimately, text editing.
