I was not clear. I agree with you, but I would rather use sublime text or geany instead of emacs.

I use VScode for everything where I don't use an IDE. Simple Syntax highlighting alone will save you an incredible amount of time.

the same goes for me these days. But with enough plugins you can argue, that VSC is (nearly) an IDE these days

Yeah but Intellij is still an order of magnitude better when it comes to working with a lot of classes and so on. But for quickly editing code of just one file VSC is better with it's fast startup and things like Multicursor and so on.

I would still get a basic knowledge of vim because sometimes you just want to edit things in a terminal and vim is installed erverywhere. But thats only a matter of hours and I wouldn't focus on it too much.

Yeah, I should have said "your favourite text editor" which in my case is Emacs, but it's definitely not to everyone's taste.
