And I think, you're not entirely honest about your work. More often than we'd like, we do just type in multiple variations of the same boilerplate code.
It's the unglorious part of our work, the part that we're paid far too much for, since you can't quite ask a secretary to do it.
So, it's seldomly acknowledged that we do this stuff, but it's not even particularly uncommon with database and GUI code often being mostly that.
There you are mostly bottlenecked by your typing speed, not by how much you need to think.
As for your argument that typing speed is not the most important thing about a text editor, that it's its tooling instead: Emacs has a thousand features beside text editing, while vim has a thousand extensions to add those features. I'm sure, if you actually used one of these text editors you'd just as well have anecdotes of things you feel are important which you don't have on the other platforms.
Off-topic: OneNote is probably going the way of the Dodo by the way. Microsoft Office 2019 and onwards will not ship with it. You can comtinue to use OneNote 2016 for a while still, but it's eventually not going to get security patches anymore.
Microsoft does provide what they consider a continuation as a UWP app, but as it stands you can't use that without uploading all your notes to Microsoft's servers, so hardly usable in a company with any sort of sense for confidentiality and data protection.
