In emacs I can overwrite ANY function wherever it is from my config and change for example how shr (an html renderer) handles/styles headings. Its crazy!
One MAJOR thing that emacs does better is making things work together. I have orderless installed for matching strings in ANY completion. It works everywhere while in VSCode you cant even get close to that.
VSCode is great if you like the default and dont want to „build your text editor“ cause thats what emacs basically is. Its a toolbox with which you can build the editor to fit your exact needs with almost no limitations
- jonpalmisc 5y agoThe cohesion and interoperability of Emacs packages is hard to find elsewhere. When I tried Neovim recently, it was blatantly obvious and I was quickly turned off by how each plugin creates psuedo-TUI elements and prompts for input slightly differently.
- ghosty141 5y agoExactly, it's simply the difference between having a texteditor with plugins vs. having a "vm" that is mainly a text editor.
