Why waste time learning about some fad IDE that will get replaced by something ‘better’ in five years? Newer text editors don’t do anything better than Vim, and they are strictly worse when it comes to their primary function: editing text.

‘You can install a vi emulator.’ - Waste of time. I already have vim.

My vimrc file still works. New machine? Just install vim and copy my vimrc over.

Emacs is a totally different experience. Emacs is essentially the interface side of an operating system. There is really no replacement for it except a UNIX command-line with a bunch of CLI tools for things like news and email that people have forgotten about.
