Yeah, God knows that I only learn tools that I can use at any time, anywhere, on any hypothetical machine. Not the machines I actually own, but ANY MACHINE EVER.

This smells like confirmation bias to me.

This is a straw man argument.

I already use perfectly good multi platform editors like Sublime and Vim and I have Emacs as an option, although I have not used it much. There is a significant investment in time required to use a modal editor like Vim (and apparently Kakoune) at even close to a decent level. I simply prefer to not have to change editors every time I change platform, since an editor is a tool I use a lot and I have the option to not be restricted by platform limited editors.
