I don't like Emacs Lisp a whole lot. It's probably my second least favorite Lisp to interact with. (Least favorite is Autolisp.) But it's a Lisp, it's gotten much better over the years, and it has lots of features that make automating what Emacs does really stinking convenient. Automating a task to smooth out a workflow usually takes maybe a page or two of Emacs Lisp, tops. And I can piece it together and try it out, live, in the editor session I'm doing my work in. Visual Studio Code has nothing comparable.
