I feel like you could do a single-image rebuttal to this article, consisting of a timeline of various popular code editors/IDEs that have come and gone since 1976, and how many of them are still around.

I mean, fuck, I've only been in this industry since 2011, and that's still long enough for me to recall the "rise" of half a dozen code editors (SublimeText! Atom! Intellij! VisualStudioCode!). I imagine most people don't like re-learning their entire workflow every couple of years, and just want to get back to coding.



Indeed. I started using emacs in ~91 and put an effort to really learn it in '93 and been reaping the benefits of it ever since.
