Sounds about right to me. The book The Human Zoo by Desmond Morris discusses this phenomenon r.e. people need to feel the best at something so they pick ever smaller niches or hobbies where they can finally compete at a level where they have a chance to get to the top.

I would recommend the book as a whole, it has a lot of other interesting info in it too.

Go for Emacs.

It is niche, belongs to the oldest softwares, and a true mark of professionalism:)

And make sure you use tabs!
Heresy! Always indent using spaces so that you can easily use Vim's `conceal` feature to replace the spaces with the 🅱️ emoji. /s
