I actually picked up learning Spacemacs specifically for Elixir. The Alchemist mode is easily the best IDE mode for Elixir that I’ve found (after trying Atom, IntelliJ/WebStorm mainly) but I really preferred the modal editor of Vim, so Spacemacs came to the rescue.
I think I got started with this guide: Spacemacs and Alchemist to make Elixir of immortality
My biggest gripe is that Emacs is terrible at ligatures in fonts. I really want to use Firacode for the awesome ligatures that make reading Elixir so nice, but I haven’t yet found a guide that could actually get those ligatures rendering.

if you also want to have nice fonts you can try GitHub - tonsky/FiraCode: Free monospaced font with programming ligatures · GitHub
You need add to config
"editor.fontFamily": "Fira Code",
"editor.fontSize": 14,
"editor.fontLigatures": true,

I just downloaded and tried VSCode as a result of this poll, because it blew me away that it was number two on the list. I have to admit that it’s pretty impressive, especially coming in with low expectations.

I would say it’s third on the list (there are a few variants of Vim, such as NeoVim MacVim etc) or even fourth if you count SpaceMacs as an Emacs variant

I mostly use atom for elixir, but I’ve been trying out spacemacs and I’m considering switching and finally committing to learning vim keybinds.

Sublime text 3 here and starting with Spacemacs to learn a new one. I am liking it and will keep in dock along with st3.
As already told here spacemacs seems not to handle to good large files (csv, sql…). St3 is faster.
I also have atom installed but the crashes is annoying. I hope they fix it future.

Sublime Text 3 with vim bindings and a couple custom Elixir plugins and build systems. I also use vim when I’m working on remote servers.

I use Visual Studio Code, because it’s quicker than Atom and supports all my languages (Python, Rust and Go). I’m starting out with Elixir, so I can’t vouch for the experience, but I’m using the most popular extension: vscode-elixir
