My experience using Emacs at work for the past 15 years has been outstanding. I find that when I join a new company, there is sometimes a bit of legwork getting Emacs working with potentially bespoke SSH, tooling, or VPN configs (for remote development), but once it works I don't touch it. I touch a lot of languages at work, including more I didn't mention above, and not having to leave Emacs to learn a new tool is a huge boon to productivity. I get all the niceties of an IDE via LSP and some other Emacs packages, including autocomplete, code navigation, Github Copilot, and more.
I don't ever tell anyone they _should_ learn Emacs at work, but once in a while someone sees me use it while screen sharing and they get interested.
