A plain vim or Emacs is trivial to set up and is indistinguishable, simple config changes are also trivial, but once you go deeper into plugins/layers for things like fuzzy file finders it starts to fall apart because they start relying on Linux-only tools or the Windows equivalent tools aren't as good. Some of it you can get to work after copious amounts of fiddling, but I don't have that kind of time or willpower. While it might not be as powerful the total amount of time I've spent actually making config changes in VSCode is probably about 30 minutes. This is including time waiting for extensions to download! Not to mention that it ships with many features out of the box such as git integration.
