So I think you're actually wrong on some of these. And again, I say this as a massive fan of vim and emacs. Support for git is awesome in vscode. You install a plug-in and get great support for various commands. Another plugin and you can have every line annotated with a git blame (a faded text at the end of the line), as well as having a git blame annotation at the top of each function. These were game changers for me. Though full disclosure, I haven't used magit much - but that's part of the problem. The learning curve on the vscode stuff was zero. Project navigation is dead simple in vscode, I don't think emacs has any advantage. As for text manipulation, as a vim snob, I'll just point out that text editing is really only good with Vim. Luckily vscode has a vim mode that's decent. Not perfect at all, but decent. As for extensibility - all the above are plugins. It is extensible.
