And it also means obsolete.

How condescending.

But no, I probably won't mind changing editors every few years because I am capable of learning new things and do not require a safe space to keep me insulated from the outside world.

An editor is the least interesting thing to learn in computer engineering. If you enjoy wasting your time may I suggest something like stamp collecting that doesn't create billions of dollars of lost productivity for the rest of us?

Misrepresenting my comments as you have done shows how weak your position is. Don't bother replying further as I will not read it.

You should write them in a superior text editor like Emacs so they are clearer.

Plus I’m changing editors every 8 or 4 years because the “new one” is better in some regard. VSCode is a very good editor. Sublime was a good editor too, but VSCode was better enough to make me switch. Whatever comes after VSCode will be that much better!

So there is nothing wrong at all with switching to a new editor… it just means things are getting even better!!!
