In a roundabout way, do the various distributions (of linux and emacs) indicate that they are more flexible pieces of software than single-version software projects?
People who ask point-blank questions whose answers are as varied and voluminous as the gigabytes of readily googleable prose exhausted on the subject are either high schoolers or programmers who seek quick, facile solutions. Emacs's free-wheeling complexity is decidedly not for these people.
In any case, OP knows about Emacs and that there's Vim and Neovim, so some prior research has been done.

I agree with your sentiment in general. But. It's difficult to draw the line: when do you ask for a personal opinion vs a google search. I sort of ended up not talking to anyone. In any case, OP knows about Emacs and that there's Vim and Neovim, so some prior research has been done.
Never, unless the "personal opinion" requested is for a private matter. Any broad, technical question such as OP's is always LMGTFY.
I use SpaceMacs as my daily driver (never had the want for doom emacs). And programming python was good. I had no "problems" to speak of and I could use emacs commands just fine when I didn't want to use vim-fu.
Vim/Neovim -> I have used both and they worked just as good as emacs when I had the plugins setup to my liking. I found SpaceVim to be more of my style instead of the manual setup though. However, learn the varieties of vim (there's graphical and terminal versions as well as other differences).
TLDR; emacs/vim -> time spent on learning the software and customizing it leads to productivity. If you were used to all the plugins and auto setup of VSCode and you really want to experiment with emacs/vim do it when you have free time and don't mind spending it.
