> One of the best pieces of advice I received was "pick an editor and go deep".

Agreed, I'd be infinitely less productive if I couldn't use the editor I learned to master in the past 20 years.

A corollary to that would be "pick a company that lets you use your own editor". There's lots of friction from IT departments towards emacs and vim. The package/plugin system is a security nightmare with lots of potential supply chain attacks and more importantly no trusted vendor to blame when something goes wrong.
