I moved into management 5 years back. And since then I have reduced the amount of coding to a degree that I don't write anything that goes to production. Most of my coding is scripts to automate something or discovering something personally. I juggle between Emacs, vim, and VS Code for many of those; VS code especially if I want to navigate code. But Emacs is my daily driver. I use plain text files to keep track of things, write meeting notes, etc. The one editor that I keep coming back to is Emacs. May be it is me, but its flexibility is unbeaten. And as strange it sounds to say this these days, but Emacs is light. So much so than VScode. It isn't vi/vim, but it is snappy to get started.

Just recently I wanted the M-x shell to support OSC 8 links(you can click them to go to a file), and all it required was to write a small function to do so. This function goes into the thousand odd lines of lisp that I have curated over a 16 years. It is an editor that keeps evolving.
