After using 3+ tools I often come to the conclusion that I don't really like any of them. I see the trade offs and choose something based on often superficial reasons.
I use Linux instead of Windows or macOS, because it allows me to tinker and I feel more free. But I do use ChromeOS, because machines are cheap, the experience is good and I get access to Linux thanks to Crostini.
While I use ChromeOS I don't really like Chrome and prefer Firefox. I've used Brave and Edge, but thinking how they are all Chromium with a twist is not that compelling for me. But Firefox has a killer feature for me with Simple Tab Groups, Containers and full uBlock Origin.
With editors I used many, but I'm mostly stuck with vim, because I invested in it in the past and it is almost always there or easily obtainable. Other than it VSCode is good, but I feel dirty using it.
From terminals I've used many, but find rxvt-unicode not getting in my way the most. Though often I just use xfce4-terminal, because it is there.
From Linux DEs I've used most. KDE/Plasma seems always buggy for me. GNOME is too strange. dwm and friends are very nice, but sometimes I don't feel like setting it up on a new machine/vm. Budgie was nice, but was too much tied to Solus at the time. Xfce4 is just there, reliable and pretty enough.
