I answered the survey, but I've begun the process of moving away from Emacs, and adopting what is considered the standard toolkit for a programmer in my position. And for enterprise JavaScript development, the standard editor is Visual Studio Code.

The reason why is because using anything else creates unnecessary friction between me and the rest of the team. This applies to other tools as well; for example, the default way to bench-test a running web service is to "use Postman". I could use curl, and that would be easier for me, especially from a scripting standpoint, but everybody else's vocabulary is in terms of Postman, so I'm forcing myself to use that.
