As a former Emacs advocate, I only use Emacs for org-mode and magit these days.

These are still the finest stay-organized and Git UI modules I've ever seen, respectively, and are still enough to make sure I have Emacs on every system I use.

For coding, I've gone over to VS Code (and sometimes Jetbrains).

I did some FOSS hacking as a teenager a quarter-century ago, so learned Emacs, but then ultimately chose a career unrelated to software development. I still use Emacs for anything and everything text-related: email (Gnus), RSS feeds (elfeed), org-mode where I write up both personal TODOs and serious academic research. The keyboard-driven interface is powerful and now muscle-memory. The in-built Lisp environment makes everything nicely extensible, but Emacs as an IDE, as something people have used to create general software projects, is something I rarely think about.

You use VSCode for coding, and Emacs for org and magit. What do you use for everything else? :-)

As a sibling comment pointed out, many, if not most, long term heavy Emacs users are not using it for coding.
