With 15+ years of daily Emacs usage, I couldn't agree more. It's 50% force of habit, and 50% the few commands (align-regexp! kill-rectangle!), packages (magit! tramp!), or custom Lisp snippets that make every other editor feel inadequate...
Until your Emacs process is hung again, waiting for IO, or can't process a "jump to definition", or chokes on a file with extremely long lines, or the stitched-together macOS dark mode switcher daemon has crashed, ad infinitum.
Yes, it's a race car, but from 1987, and in total disrepair.
In reality though, Emacs is a subpar editor for both everyday and specialized tasks that's fallen into obscurity as its maintainers refuse to implement anything that would make it keep up the pace with superior editors.
