I've recently actually switch to Emacs from VSCode.
I've done the journey Vim -> VSCode -> Emacs -> Neovim -> Kakoune -> and then Emacs back again. This time I'm sticking with it. The reason is simply that I think it provides capabilities for:
- great devdocs and info pages integration
- automations (compile project, set up project specific
bindings etc.)
- email (mu4e)
- navigation (vertico + ripgrep integrations)
- note-taking (howm)
- magit for git handling
... and then everything else it comes with. I'm quite a big fan of everything being minimal and text only.
I have to say that the author's story is sad. It is scary how Microsoft is locking down the ecosystem though through their pair-programming tools and other integrations. I really wish we could use the tools we prefer rather than succumb to Microsoft overlords.
