I've used emacs for 25+ years. I was never into LISP; I just really liked the interface. And muscle memory goes deep. Two months ago I switched to VSCode. The "Awesome Emacs Keymap" extension by Yuichiro Tachibana made it possible: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tuttieee.emacs-mcx https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tuttieee... It's not 100% perfect, but close enough. I'm quite enjoying using VSCode now. It's fantastic having a wealth of actually user-friendly features/extensions to choose from. VSCode is so annoyingly cluttered/blinking/animating/popup-infested by default though. There are a lot of things to disable in the default config.

The incremental search behavior still trips me up; it sorta works but not exactly. Then there are a few crucial key bindings missing (like creating and closing split windows) - that seems doable without changing the core VSCode behavior.
