Sigh. This tired argument is trot out again and again, and everyone draws an arbitrary line in the sand and calls it objective.

Do you hand roll your own assembly? Do you import any libraries or write everything from scratch? Do you drive a manual or automatic?

The only truth in this world is that we all have a finite amount of time in it, and as an individual only you can decide on the allocation.

Also it's not the tool, it's what you do with it.

Learn emacs once and you're done - your customizations will stick around for years, decades. With the proprietary MS solution, you have no guarantee of this.

Le sigh, I guess some people want to be subject to the whims of Redmond for life.
