It’s probably Emacs, but I’m a Neovim user, so I’m going to go with that.

Same here. Emacs is a solid choice, if you wanna get lispy. I just tend to prefer the vim way of things and don’t have the time and energy to try learning Emacs again at the moment.

Emacs is basically a Lisp interpreter with other utilities, like a text editor, wrapped around it, allowing it to be self-extending. So, if Lisp is language that you like or are interested in, Emacs is a good place to be.
