Fellow Emacser here. I tried vscode too for a while. It’s amazingly appealing. Lots of things just works out of the box. For an electron-app it’s surprisingly responsive. Clearly good engineering. And to think it’s a cross platform, open-source project made by Microsoft! That said, as an Emacser, I just notice things everywhere where I want/need to tweak and change things slightly to fit my work-flow. But then you can’t. Not at least without a full rebuild-cycle. So that doesn’t really work. After meeting a few issues like that, I was quickly back to Emacs. It’s not as visually fancy or OOB ready. But it has a select few, powerful primitives and full access to adapt everything those provides to suit how you work. A little bit of fancy is nothing against that kind of power, but I can definitely see how this eats market-share from other editors in the beginner-segment.
