> the crucial difficulty of Emacs comes from its messiness, from the huge number of people writing interesting extensions in it, and how they don't always quite play nicely with each other without a bit of glue code.

This is actually how I feel about VS Code! I'm a VIM user (both in and out of VS Code), and there are things I regularly go to MacVim for that the VS Code plugin doesn't support.

The thing that keeps me coming back to VS Code isn't the quality of the editor or the quality of any one thing. It's the quantity of "good enough" plugins and its integration of a good enough terminal.
