The point you're trying to make is meaningless. You're trying to compare two things of distinct categories. It's as if I said - "I like Zoom, we sometime use it for screen recordings", and someone replied: "I've moved away from Zoom for my screen recordings - OBS is such a huge improvement over it..."
I don't care what editor you use or like or moved on to. I use Neovim myself. But like I said, Emacs is not just an editor. Come back when you find a better replacement for a "Lisp REPL with a built-in editor", maybe then, the conversation start making sense.
Emacs was sold to me as an editor however, and technically that wasn't a lie.
The distinction you're making is too only technically correct. Emacs is still (also) an editor. I judged its editor abilities and found them lacking. Finally I woke up and understood it's not for me and moved on.
You can stop arguing now.
