I use Jetbrains IDEs, but keep my emacs config working with a few languages just in case... a few times, I had IntelliJ consuming far too much CPU/memory which made my laptop too hot, and I was happy that using emacs gave me a lot of the benefits with a magnitude less resource usage. That turned out to be some sort of bug in IntelliJ, because after a few minor releases it stopped doing that and now I am using it again on a smaller Macbook Air without problems (using Java, Dart and Kotlin mostly).

I was joking. I actually started using Emacs too, but just for writing documents (so far).
