I’ve been an emacs user for 10 years. Before that, vi for another 10. This year I switched to VSCode and I will probably not go back. I like emacs, but the modes I depend on are just too brittle, and there is no easy way to discover that your old favorite mode for some particular feature set has been surpassed by a new one in popularity. VS Code plug-in search gives you ranked options. Also, there is something to be said for having everyone on your team / company on the same editor; you get economies of scale w.r.t. setting and configurations. As someone that personally invests in tooling, it’s nice to then be able to scale that tooling out to 50 people and have everyone get the benefits. I can’t do that with emacs, because the learning curve is too steep. But I’ve been able to switch dozens of people with VSCode.
