Pitch me on your favorite editor

I don't mean to start the holy war.

I just want to see your perspectives.

Please keep it civilized , I've seen discussions like this get heated quick.

(don't be like the photo , lol)

Bit late, but Vim.

People think it's extremely difficult, but it really isn't. It's quite simple.

Also, when using VSCode, if you need help, you have to go to the website, read the docs, go back to the editor, and do whatever. In Vim, you just type :help. So much easier!

Emacs.

Why? Because I have leveraged other people's packages to make a solid foundation and from there added bits and pieces to make those parts sing a song I enjoy.

Good 'ol emacs. How did you find the experience of getting used to elisp? I'm not having the best time getting used to it.
