Yea I mean if you wanna talk PLUGIN CENTRIC, emacs is definitely the 800 lbs gorilla here. Thats said I'm a vimer who now uses vscode for 90% of my work because I like pretty colors and I can setup everything I need to work in a few clicks.

Ha, I actually tried to use VSCode, but went back to vim because it needed 'a few clicks' to set up everything. I hate things not being configured explicitly in files that I can version control.

  VSCode let’s you do that, with the .vscode folder either globally or locally per-folder/project, for what it’s worth. Unless I misunderstood what you meant!

    At least at the time, the format was really not conducive to it, especially re plugins that should be installed, and on macOS since it used Electron's config mechanism it all got stuffed in ~/Library/Application\ Support/VSCode.app/Resources/macOS/Content/package/config/vscode.config or something horrific. I primarily use Linux, but I don't want something as crucial as my editor to unavailable or differently configured (so I can't just clone dotfiles) on macOS which I might sometimes use. Which, again, last I checked, means no Electron for anything that 'crucial'. (I think it's fair enough for maintainers of these things to defer to Electron on config locatio, but it's unfortunate that Electron decided what 'platform standard locations' are irrespective of what the tool is, whether $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is explicitly set, and what other tools do or user preference is.)
