Why are you using all these editors? Surely you only need to narrow this down to one or two?
Anyway..
One of the great things about all these choices of editors (or even IDEs) is that if gives you the CHOICE to solve a problem.
For me - Emacs is my main editor. However, at times, I also use Notepad++ when on a Windows Server or similar.
The reason I chose Emacs over things like VS Code or SText is because it is more than just a text editor. I use it for note taking, git interaction, coding, building, debugging, FTP'ing, shell.. and others.
By having all this in one editor means I can use the same set of commands.. and reducing my need of using the mouse.
Without emacs, I have seperate programs for 'this, another program for 'that, and they all come with their own flavour of GUI and shortcut keys.
I am sure other editors can also "do more than code" - but emacs takes it the extra mile (or 100 if you want it)
