Yeah, that was me. A few times, actually. I think to myself, Visual Studio Code is the standard now, everybody seems to love it and I need to keep up professionally. I'm really gonna switch this time, here we go! Few days later I'm slouching and grumbling my way back to Emacs. Emacs works the way my brain works; Visual Studio Code does not. Emacs is designed to be live-codable and to be shaped to fit your specific tasks as you work with it. Adding an extension to Visual Studio Code is like pulling teeth. By design. They optimized for the use case of downloading or buying extensions for an online gallery, rather than adapting the editor yourself. Plus, fucking no one does electric indent right, except for Emacs.
