I used it between 1995 and 2006 as replacement for not having proper IDEs on the UNIX systems I had to work on.

With that requirement going away, I left Emacs behind.

I’m perfectly happy woth IDEs for some projects, especially at work. But I tinker with enough ecosystems and OS and sometimes you just don’t have any IDEs. On almost all systems, I can copy my init.el and have my tools replicated in a few minutes.
