Yes, I'm using it for a long time now. And while emacs has its ways, they are not obvious, nor standard. That's what I mean with baseline, the common knowledge of users. Emacs out of the box is not very accessible, and spacemacs&co. do not change much in that regard. You still need to work on discovering the ways of emacs to gain something from it.
VS Code in that regard is different. It's a GUI and all the user need to know is how GUIs today work, which is common knowledge.

Barfing out information for anything and everything does not mean it's good or helpful. Emacs documentation is also infamous for how dated and useless it can be, especially for beginners.
