This is very true. To combat this, I've developed a process of using a personal extension customize VS Code, the details of how this works are in the my personal extension's README (https://github.com/robenkleene/vscode-robenkleene https://github.com/robenkleene/vscode-robenkleene). This lets me customize VSCode in a similar way to how I can customize Emacs and Vim.
