That is kind of a bad example, because installing extensions is something you do rarely. Making that easy is nice, but not a huge productivity win. I think Emacs also has a lot of stuff for extensions and such built-in, but I'm not too familiar with Emacs. With Vim it's a bit more manual, but really not all that much work. Basically search "Vim $my_language", usually click the first link, "git clone" in your ~/.vim/pack, and you're ready to do for most plugins, which will work out of the box. That you need to spend "hours" on this is just nonsense. And the last time I tried VSCode with Go I had to spend some time fiddling around with things to make it work too. What it comes down to is personal preference. Some people prefer A, others B. I strongly dislike VSCode's default settings and need to spend quite a bit of time fiddling with that too. But ... I don't pawn off my preferred way of doing things as somehow objectively superior to anyone else's. There's just one person why needs to use your editor: you. So ... whatever works for you, ya know. I can't believe it's 2022 and we're still doing this "editor war" bullshit.
