My argument was the opposite, I use emacs for everything because its extensions are more composable and it’s a lot easier for me to write my own as I need them.

My point is just that the “why would anyone use a ‘text editor’ instead of an IDE” argument makes a little bit of sense when you’re comparing vim/emacs to IntelliJ, but VSCode is just as much a text editor out of the box as vim/emacs. And, despite being newer, it’s relatively uninspired compare to emacs.
