I have just the opposite problem. I've tried Visual Studio Code many times, each time wondering if there were some productivity benefit I was missing because everybody seems to use and love it. I'm just not seeing it. Having Emacs Lisp right there, in which I can knock together some automation that smooths the pain points out of my workflow, is just too much a benefit. Visual Studio Code is just aimed at a different kind of developer than I am. (ThePrimeagen fans, stay quiet; you risk violating someone's code of conduct if you speak up now.) It doesn't work the way my mind works, so I will always be a foreigner in its lands. Plus, Emacs is just too cozy. It's like a beanbag chair: once ensconced in it, you struggle to get out... and you really don't want to. Emacs now has a package called crdt that uses -- you guessed it -- CRDTs to provide collaborative editing. I've seen YouTube videos of it in use and it seems to work rather well. So you can pair program remotely with it, but I don't pair program often enough to need it.
