In that time I've carried on using Emacs, and have regretted it several times ;)
However, Emacs has come on a lot. It's much easier to configure than it used to be, and LSP has brought its semantic features back into the range of other editors. Its text processing abilities have always been stellar and far outshone anything else I've tried.
I'm very happy I stuck with it. I've kept many years of muscle memory and tricks and avoided having to reconfigure 3 different editors. Plus there are killer features like magit and org-mode.
