It was dying when I started using it 15 years ago and it's been dying the whole time and still is. Apparently. Meanwhile I've had 15 years with Emacs and those who haven't have no idea what they're missing out on. Sad, but hey, you can't do everything in life. The only Emacs users I've encountered in the wild were university professors who use Emacs pretty much out of the box. Never met another programmer who uses it. Plenty have seen me use it over the years and tried to pick it up, but don't think any have stuck with it like me. For me Emacs is like a bicycle. It's the pinnacle of its technology class. Sure there are more convenient things like cars and VS Code, but these always come with tradeoffs and seem unsustainable in the long run. Emacs is a text editor for life.
