Agree, but because it's JS and well designed plugins also affect the editor experience much less. Where in Sublime the Python based plugins which aren't designed around async and promise-like patterns often can lock up the editor waiting on them.

VSCode is pretty much the best Emacs there is right now. Uses JS, has good package management, allows changing settings per "workspace" including enable/disable plugins, has great git support, pioneered LSP, and more.

I literally want to hate VSCode, but there isn't much to hate and any weakness it has can/should/likely-will be addressed by a plugin.
