I'd prefer to write extensions to my IDE using TypeScript rather than elisp, but my attempt in 2018 or so to move from emacs to vscode failed, despite there being extensions that made keymappings largely compatible.
Emacs has a much more focused UI than vscode. It's not obvious to me how to make all the extraneous things I'm not editing disappear.
The emacs-compatible extensions as far as I've seen still haven't been able to make switching files in vscode as fast and convenient as switching in emacs. I spend more time maintaining software than writing new code in a single file, so this is a noticeable slowdown.
VSCode doesn't feel as fast. I never fully investigated all the reasons. But I might make another attempt to move to it after it has a few more years to improve.
