I am a firm believer of (neo)vim being the pinnacle of editing. My workdays start with vim and end with vim. But vim is not the everything app, which the e in emacs probably stands for.
HOWEVER, there are vim plugins for almost everything, which is pretty cool. This point goes to you, emacs rivals. Let's keep it between us and not the vs code or IDE weirdos
I do not agree with your premise. Some editors should be simple and approachable above all. Some should also be super customizable and efficient to use for those who want do dive deep into their editor.
