Lots of editors out there are nicer and friendlier than Emacs. Most of them eventually fall out of fashion.

I was using Emacs when Textmate was the hot new thing. The Sublime came around. Then came the first Electron-powered editors like Atom and Brackets. Then came VSCode. While people kept chasing these new editors, I've been using Emacs for more than 10 years. I'll be still using Emacs when the hotter, newer thing eventually comes around.

Imho, Sublime is pretty slick after a few custom shortcuts and tweaks. I really do love that little editor.
