I never knew how popular Emacs is before going into finance (which definitely tends to attract older programmers on average). I'd say it's more popular than Vim in my environment, which is surprising. It definitely has the air of the ultimate "erudite" text editor. I'll stick with (neo)vim, though, I don't see the time investment to learn Emacs and build up a config as worth it + neovim with Lua and LSP works just fine and is rather easy to configure.

For what it's worth, setting up a language with the LSP is dead simple in a .emacs file, editing my config is something I enjoy a lot with emacs, make a change, M-x load-file .emacs, boom, face highlighting, autocomplete, pretty much everything and more, surprisingly it ran better than when I tried VScode
