This trend is indeed weird. It reminds me of my journey with Vim. In the beginning it was life changing. Like I felt like it really gave me an edge. I had all kinds of customizations on top of it. After a while I changed to Vim plugins inside full IDEs. No customization, just my plain comfortable text editor of choice. I feel nice while using it. Feels at home. I can't use mouse based text editors and feel happy anymore. Or at least I don't bother trying. Also I see no point in comparing this with anyone else using their tools. It's their tools and they could have more than a decade of experience in it.
