In my uni, many professors used Emacs when demonstrating. For example, one course [0] used the Agda language [1] as a proof assistant. Afaik, the only good interactive Agda interface is the Emacs Agda mode [2]. Maybe you just live in a region of the world that happens to have a weak culture of using Emacs?
