Exactly. At work I have Emacs running in WSL, after a bit of tweaking it runs almost as fast as on Linux and doesn't give any trouble. I also have VS Code for when some coworker wants to work on something together and asks for it. You don't have to use only one of them! What also helps is keybindings. I like vim so I use evil and whatever the VSC equivalent is, and most other commands are done with a "leader key" in both editors, so there's not a big difference in ergonomy. It's really not much trouble to have these two setups co-existing. In fact I'd be upset if I had to choose only one.
