Compared to this in vscode writing extensions is much more convoluted. You wouldn't create a new vscode extension for a 1 hour task, for example, while with emacs it's trivial to write some small code which can help you with your current task. I often do.

- thom 7y agoIs it that heavyweight? There’s nothing akin to just pasting something into your .emacs, or even a scratch buffer? I admit I have looked around with no luck. Doesn’t seem like that’s improbable over the product’s lifetime though, if there’s enough demand.
