    Indeed. Do people still use emacs to code, for example?

    Technologies evolve. People coding today in COBOL or Fortran are few and far between (but very well compensated).

      Yeah sure, i use Emacs to code. In evil mode. A lot of Emacs users use it to code. Why would you think otherwise?

      Not sure if that’s a serious question. Yes. They do. And many use it effectively. I use (neo)vim though because it works for me
