No, that's not the point. It's certainly a point, but it's not my point. My point was that the statement

Atom exists. VSCode exists. Both are superior editors to Emacs

isn't correct, at least not for me. I just tried to say that there are things I'd rather do in Emacs than attempt to achieve in either of the other two.
