I use emacs like that. When first getting into it, 20 years ago, I was very much as described above - slowly pulling everything in my life into emacs. And then the iPhone arrived, and I started pulling out things that I wanted to do mobile: email, to do lists, and eventually notes, and recipes. Most recently, I’ve started doing JavaScript in VS code, as the LLM assistants are better than what I’ve got in emacs, but I suspect this is temporary.

I find the emacs works best when it does everything, but there’s stuff it just doesn’t do, so I do that stuff elsewhere. I look outside of emacs if I think the task is going to be done mobile, and even then, I generally choose a solution that produces plain text so I can do it inside emacs if required - but sometimes that just doesn’t work out.
