I have modified the LW editor to be more "Mac-like" which I guess makes me less hardcore. I am not sure a hardcore emacs user would be totally happy with the LW editor either. I have also used VS Code with the Alive plugin to interface with LW.

You're shipping commercial software with CL so I think you're about as hardcore as it gets :)

If you mean in terms of keybindings, I did the same when I did a trial recently even though I usually use Emacs for working with lisps. I think it's nice to keybindings that match most text editing programs, and I think the benefits of Emacs-y structural editing are a little overstated (in my opinion). Was just curious to hear how folks using LW do their work.
Although a huge ParEdit fan (LW has a primitive copy of it now), I tend to agree that some of the more advanced structural editing concepts are not that necessary. The basics LW already has
That said, I find Emacs to be a powerhouse, stable text editor. LW has a decent editor, but it is really hard to get to the same level of Emacs in many of the smaller aspects that you end up taking for granted and don’t want to do without
