I use Emacs, but I like the polish of VSCode too. Emacs is a portable programming platform and once you learn it, it's so easy to program that it's trivial to create mini applications with a text/keyboard interface to get things done or quickly automate recurring tasks. (Those who can create VScode plugins and don't know emacs, have no idea how convoluted creating a vscode plugin is, and how trivial it is in emacs). Even if I happen to do something via VSCode, I still use Emacs for Org, Magit, etc. and also as the above mentioned programming platform, because I found these mini apps with key/text interface help a lot with everyday tasks.
