emacs is by now quite inferior to VSCode for most thing I think this statement illustrates a problem that comes up again and again in tool discussions. I'm pretty familiar with both environments. Objectively there are things that VSCode does very well that emacs is weak at, though you can hack about and get some sort of approximation usually. And there are things that emacs does very well that VScode is weak or nonexistent at, though you may be able to hack an approximation together. The problem with these discussions tends to be that people fall into camps where they consider other peoples must-have functionality to be irrelevant or unimportant, so "their" tool of choice "obviously" is "better". This is especially true of something like VScode vs. emacs, where the natural domain of VScode is much narrower than the natural domain of emacs.
