The Emacs user community is absolutely fantastic. Lisp is an amazing language to work in, and Emacs gives it to you for free. VSCode is an excellent piece of software, but you have to jump through hoops to extend it. I can extend Emacs by switching to my scratch buffer and hacking until I get what I want inside of 15 minutes in most cases. And then I drop it in an .el file and go from there. And org-mode is absolutely fantastic when it's integrated into the editor you're writing your code in.
