Interestingly, the features of Emacs, Vim and VSCode are largely orthogonal (on top of any basic text editor). Further, a lot of people advocate using CLI instead of most VSCode features. Waiting for the holy grail, you can still learn from each:
* Vim key bindings for text edits
* CLI commands for Git
* Emacs modes such as Magit and org-mode
* VSCode for tight Typescript integration, nice block structure visualisation etc.
I hope some editor will combine this all. (I think Emacs will be best placed to achieve this with its extension ecosystem that already includes Magit, org-mode, evil-mode etc.)
- cassianoleal 3y agoVS Code already has extensions for all that.
- subsection1h 3y agoVS Code doesn't have anything comparable to Org mode. The "VS Code Org Mode" extension[1] has maybe 1% or 2% of the features of Org mode for Emacs. Go read Org mode's manual[2] from start to finish (134,062 words) and then direct us to an extension for VS Code that has comparable features (e.g., plain text spreadsheets).

- cassianoleal 3y agoFair enough! I don't use it so wouldn't know.
- baby 3y agoI've tried org mode several times and I think it's both overkill and not something most people would benefit from considering the time investment needed.
- tuukkah 3y agoVSCode has a long list of me-too features and extensions but in my experience, not many are of great quality.
