I'm a long time emacs user and switched to VSCode for the same reasons (the amazing JS support in VSCode). For keybindings, I'm using the Emacs Friendly Keymap extension and didn't find it to be quite as buggy as the author describes (I might just be using less key combinations though).

I used emacs for writing JS for years, and for the time js2-mode was amazing, but the JS I'm writing now is quite a bit different. JSX and Vue templates complicate the situation as well.

Since VSCode is written in JS, I suspect that it will always have advantages when writing JS in the same way that emacs will probably always have an advantage when writing Lisp.
