I use neovim and sublime text. I disable language servers and linter plugins - i get irritated by constant display of errors and warnings.
I tried to use VS Code, I felt some lag or sluggishness (in some scenarios). Neovim and Sublime Text are blazing fast. (I don’t want to start a flame war - this is only my experience). I strongly believe choice of editors is a personal choice.
Doom Emacs user here which has Evil-mode as default and uses a module system with ‘config snippets’.
Pros:
Cons:
VScode is nice too though. Much easier to setup I think and it does 95% really well (using extentions). For an Electron app it’s performance is amazing (compared to other Electron apps) which shows how serious Microsoft is about it. No shame in using VScode!
My favourite ever editing experience was IntelliJ for Java (& to a lesser extent kotlin). The solidity of the many refactorings and other code assistance available really shift the feel up the abstraction layer. The experience eventually becomes very little like ‘editing text’ and more like directly manipulating something more AST-like. The next best for me has been paredit (in any editor) for clojure. I have zero interest in editing text per se - the ‘text’ aspect of programming languages is just accidental complexity to me.
I’d like something similar in any language, but it’s obviously tougher the more dynamic it is.
Having said all that, I’d far rather ‘edit text’ to manipulate Elixir programs than have a more refined experience at the cost of having to write Java.
Intellij IDEA for my PayTheMortgage 
Java work. I am interested in getting into the Elixir plugin for intellij though
Neovim seems to improve at an accelerating rate. Lua scripting coming on strong - it’s a nice language!
VS Code is a fantastic editor, but it makes tradeoffs I don’t personally agree with, which is why I don’t use it myself. That being said, we now have a standard for language servers thanks to VS Code, which is a big improvement! Most of my teammates use it and are quite happy.
All I ask is others don’t force me to use their editor/IDE of choice. I’ve invested a lot of time and energy learning mine 
I can relate to this! Java has world-class IDE support, but the complexity of the ecosystem… I don’t think any editor could solve the fundamental design issues with the language 
I am using Atom as my main text editor for projects. I use nano whenever I need to edit something in the terminal. I used to use gedit for small text files or just random small edits, notes, but when I moved to macos I started to use coteditor, it is pretty nice.
This was one reason I first used VS Code. Another was that I wanted to help newbies get started with clojure, and thought contributing to vs code clojure support could be useful given how many people use it for other languages. Both these points illustrate we can have reasons for using tools other than their narrowly defined intrinsic virtues.
I do really like neovim and use it for in-terminal edits. I’ve also used this VS Code plugin, which allows neovim to be used as the text-editing backend for vs code:
