You're not wrong. I seriously attempted to use Emacs for about 5 years (after using it throughout university decades ago), and I got it to about 95%, but got exhausted of it being so fiddly. You can also never get away from the inherent performance flaws (single threaded, doesn't handle large files well), which comes up more than you'd think. I just want to do my work and not spend time debugging why the latest package update broke my helm/ivy lookup, or why lsp-mode suddenly stopped working with x language server. I swapped to VSCode / Obsidian (to replace org mode) and haven't looked back. I can't even remember the last time I looked at my VSCode config, maybe 6 months ago. The only thing I really miss are the editing capabilities, using evil-mode and various evil plugins. But coding is only about 10% editing speed imo, so not worth the pain for me.
