I still really like Emacs. Granted, I use Doom, because modal editing is just better. But I don't need to use Vim/Neovim unless I need a quick light editor over a remote connection. There's still a lot of useful integrations and applications within Emacs. I use Calc all the time, Org, LSP is thankfully open and makes Emacs a full-on IDE, RSS reader, file explorer, by far the best Git client, and I still use it to analyze and operate on basically anything text-related.

I think it goes both ways. There are a lot more closed-down things these days, but the things that are open feel more established and professional than they ever did before.
