I'd say that's almost true. I'm also a longtime Emacs user. My work development is C# on Windows, so I've dabbled with VSCode and Atom.

My experience so far is that extensions on VSCode "just work", but they're scarce, and difficult to discover and install.

My experience with extensions on Atom is that they are numerous, cover a very wide variety of needs/wants, and that they frequently break when the main editor updates. I haven't been able to install/update the Omnisharp extension successfully since the npm debacle a few weeks ago.

I dabbled with Spacemacs, and it seems nice, but I couldn't work out how to migrate my existing extensive org-mode customizations without digging deep into the Spacemacs package management system.
