As someone (non-programmer, yet text-curious) who spent ~9months of this short life learning Emacs so I could use org-mode, I love using VS Code.

It’s non-esoteric, easy to pick up, easy to kick ass with, and easy to show others how to kick ass with it.

The terrible parts:

- I don’t trust it , from a privacy-first standpoint, as much as I trust Emacs

- There appears to be absolutely NO security around third party extensions (not good for newbs nor enterprise envs)
