- pjmlp 2y agoI would say, that with Enrich Gamma at the steering wheel, and Microsoft's money, VSCode is succeeding pretty well.
- guenthert 2y agoI'd think that VSCode eats into the 'market share' of Eclipse and the like, but I can't see it as replacement for Emacs at all.
- pjmlp 2y agoBetter look at the shape of Emacs market share evolution since VSCode exists. Turns out JavaScript is more appealing than Elisp, plus the graphical capabilities of having a browser engine.
- School-Cotton 2y agoVS Code is nothing like emacs at all except in the most basic sense that they’re both text editors popular with programmers.
- pjmlp 2y agoI am old enough to have used XEmacs when the paint was still drying.
