> I’ve also seen plenty of new editors rise and fall in the past 20 years - Komodo, TextMate, Sublime Text, Atom, etc. Emacs and vim are the only editors that stood the test of time, and I have a feeling they will be with us for decades to come. This means that an investment in them will be likely paying you dividends much longer than an investment in a newer editor or IDE.
The thing the author seems to forget is that you don't need to "invest" anything to learn VSCode. I also wouldn't call it an investment, as you can't really "forget" your Emacs skills and get part of your money back. It's more like buying a tool. VSCode was free, or almost free. Emacs seems to cost way more.
