Im considering spending some serious time learning one of the above. Two principle engineers I work with exclusively use them, and watching them work is incredible, the speed they move and get things done is pure wizadry. Can anyone learn this skill? For what it’s worth, the alternative is learning VScode. I’ve exclusive used Android Studio in my career.

    Emacs & Vim are very powerful, and it’s definitely worth learning one of them. Personally, I prefer Emacs, because its keybindings are more similar to normal keybindings (easier learning-curve, I think), and because customizing it is easier (GUI configuration, Emacs Lisp easier than VimScript).
