Yeah, a shell is just interacting with a bunch of text, and once you've built up some familiarity with Emacs you can reuse everything you've learned (search, autocomplete, cut/paste, and once you have some elisp skills then basically anything). One of my annoyances with VSCode, which I do think will one day eat the world, is that it still seems the basic level of abstraction is too high. So there's a separate terminal window, which I always have to tell to go away, and which has its own key bindings. What I want is just a text buffer running my shell, that behaves like every other text buffer. Same with the database clients available for VSCode - stop building UIs, just give me text with a process running in the background. The editor is already all the UI I need.
