I've also been using Emacs for 3 decades. Although I could probably be happy with vscode for coding, neither vscode nor any other app I am aware of is a satisfactory substitute for Emacs as a personal information manager (PIM) because neither vscode nor any other app can be modified easily enough. (Apparently, I care whether my PIM supports my personal way of working more than I care whether my code editor or IDE does.)

Maybe if I were a professional web developer, I would be able to modify vscode in the ways I feel it needs to be modified to support my personal style after a reasonable investment in learning vscode internals, but that is manifestly not actually the case.

BTW, I don't use and don't like org mode.
