I use Emacs for languages I work continuously in and have strong (or am forming) opinions about. Willing to invest 1-2 hrs configuring. Save it in a git repo.

Not everyone share's preferences (tabs, spaces, etc.) across languages. Maybe I'm crazy but I use 2 vs 4 in different languages.

If I'm just trying a language out for the first time, I find it much easier to use vscode + vim plugin + language plugin to try something out.

But then you have to update your settings every time you collaborate on a different project with different opinions about indenting. The right way would be for emacs to simply respect the project's .editorconfig file like any other editor does, but I can't for the life of me make emacs open JavaScript files and set up indentation properly with editorconfig. It totally defeats the purpose...
