Uh, I'm surprised. How many people actually love thunderbird? And to the extend it justified the development.
I think one benefit to Emacs is having one app to do it all.
One could argue that Obsidian is just a file manager and markdown editor, VS Code gives you the same functionality, right? Three of the apps you mentioned have significant overlap in functionality. Three configs to manage, back up, etc...
Why context switch between apps and various conventions, when you could do all or most of your work, very well/quickly in one app?
I'm not trying to convince you Emacs is right for you. Just offering one perspective/benefit.
That said, I do love how I can paste an image from my clipboard straight into an Obsidian file. I've configured org-mode in Emacs to do the same (maybe a decade ago) but the experience wasn't as seamless. VS Code is pretty amazing in it's own right as well.
