Eclipse used to have an Emacs key binding plugin, but it was abandoned a few years ago, and its !uck&ing annoying going back and forth between Eclipse and Emacs key binding.
I used to use (also in Emacs):
1: Java
2: C#
3: Fortran
Emacs works for just about any language out there, I use variety of languages and a variety of different platforms, Emacs is the same on all of them and just works.

Apple is probably the king of the designated editor group, with microsoft coming in at a close second. These are relatively closed stacks and have purpose built (and pretty decent) tools to work with them, so most people do
If anything, Windows is the absolute king of languages that CAN ONLY BE USED IN THIER IDE. Take a look at Visual Basic, completely tied the VB mouse clicky clicky IDE, then of course there used to be a company called Borland which also made mouse clicky clicky languages like Delphi, a variant of Pascal that was locked to an IDE, I think they also tried to do the same with a version of C++. Then of course, there was Microsoft MFC which was so bad that that they had to write an IDE to even use it.
2. The only reason it's hard to fix is because certain parts of Python are overly dynamic. Since they broke backwards compatibility in Python 3 it would have been the perfect time to fix it. Instead they broke backwards compatibility for stuff 99% of the community doesn't give a fuck about and now nobody is upgrading even though Python 3 has been out for over 5 years.
That is really insightful, seriously. Python 3 did break backwards computability, this really would have been the time to fix some original design flaws, but they didn't, instead, they focused on stuff, like you said 99% of the people out there don't care about, hence why so many use 2.7 today and how many new projects are even started with 2.7.
There's nothing wrong with design flaws, we all make them, you just at some point have to go back and realize you made a mistake and fix it.
