Vim for everything. It's what works best for me.

With that said I would like to say that I was an Emacs person for 10 years also. I've worked with Eclipse, VS, VSCode, Sublime, and many others. Each editor I've used over the years has been a pain at some point of another. Every editor I've ever used required me to perform some kind of custom setup in some way -requiring hours upon hours of extra work to save myself a few seconds here and there from time to time.

I'm not going to try to sell you on Vim. I'm only saying that it works best for me as a baseline for content; where I will often use 'something else' for presentation (if needed). lol, even this comment was written in a vim js implementation I use from chrome's surfingkeys extension :D
