shameless plug for the church of emacs, but my productivity as a programmer has increased vastly from two things: org mode, which to those unaware, is kind of like a super powered literate programming system, and magit, an unrivaled git client. there are other things, eg consult, marginalia, vertico, orderless, etc. the ecosystem is rich, and dev is very active. also, if you are a common lisp programmer, there is no ide-like setup that comes close to slime/sly, in my opinion, for any language/ide pair

For people that want to begin with Emacs, I recommend Doom Emacs. The config files are quick to get started with, and it performs much better than Spacemacs.
magit alone is almost worth the price of admission.
