Data point: I've been using Emacs for about 5 hears. I've got a setup that works very well for me but every time I open my .emacs I hate Emacs lisp even more. Decided to give VSCode a go, my take is: - It's really slow (noticable keyboard latency) and this bums me out. - Haven't yet got into a proper VSCode git plugin but I'm pretty sure when I do I'll still miss Magit. - The only place where I really miss Emacs' ultra flexibility is the window management. VSCode's model is pretty simplistic and seems dumb to me. On the whole with my hatred of ELisp I think the relative inflexibility of VSCode is a wash, especially when you factor in how easy it was to get started. But it does make me sad to know if I stick with it I'll never escape the slowness.
