Since i've committed myself to invest and learn emacs i no longer worry about editors. Like the book Pragmatic Programmer book suggests, pick one editor that is extensible and be very good at it. Emacs was just my choice. Any editor is good

I think 5k is cheap. And lesson learned here is don't bring ppl on unless they bring a valuable skill set to the team. Because when people hear "startups" they don't see creating something good, they see a lottery ticket hoping to be on ban
