People who ask point-blank questions whose answers are as varied and voluminous as the gigabytes of readily googleable prose exhausted on the subject are either high schoolers or programmers who seek quick, facile solutions. Emacs's free-wheeling complexity is decidedly not for these people.

I agree with your sentiment in general. But. It's difficult to draw the line: when do you ask for a personal opinion vs a google search. I sort of ended up not talking to anyone.

In any case, OP knows about Emacs and that there's Vim and Neovim, so some prior research has been done.

Never, unless the "personal opinion" requested is for a private matter. Any broad, technical question such as OP's is always LMGTFY.
