I agree that setting up Emacs from scratch could be a long journey, but there are prebuilt emacs configs like Spacemacs which are even more capable than VSCode out of the box.

Emacs has been my primary editor since it was written in Teco and only ran on PDP-10s.

I haven't had an emacs config for >25 years.

You’ve got incredible self control. I love turning knobs and dials and that’s basically what emacs is.

[anamax]

Nope - just lazy, or I play with other knobs.

Plus, I can usually work in someone else's Emacs session and most people can work in mine. (Yes, they almost always comment on how it's odd to not have their customizations, but they're not tripped up by mine.)
