I've taught programming at the university for a decade. There would always come the time when students would ask what text editor to use. This was an interesting and varied question for many years.

But nowadays, it's just VSCode. It may not be open source, and it may not be a particularly exciting (or good?) text editor. But it has become so ubiquitous that I'd just short-change my students if I recommended anything else.

They'd still occasionally see me type into my Emacs (which looks nothing like stock Emacs). And sometimes it would even get a kid or two interested. Some even switched to Emacs because of those classes. I have since given up teaching, though.
