I'm not an old greybeard (in my 20s) and I solely use Emacs. What's "modern tools"? Emacs has everything; with the Language Server Protocol it is exactly like VS Code and the like, with autocomplete, find definitions, native tree-sitter support. It can even read PDFs, images, man/info pages, browse the web. I don't see any advantage that VS Code has over Emacs.

PS. Try Doom Emacs and evil-mode:

Been using Vim for a few months now but I was checking out eww the other day (along with learning more about emacs in general) and it’s certainly interesting…

One thing emacs sorely lacks is support for VS Code's LiveSharing protocol. Otherwise I use emacs for everything
