I'm sorry but I'm too far deep into emacs to ever use anything else
I wish I got into emacs when my brain was still playable lol. Every time I open it to try and learn I feel like I spend 70% of my time messing with configs and scripts/extensions. Same with Vim (though vim/vi/micro/nano are fantastic when I just want to quickly edit a file).
I hate that I'm just a VSCode plebian now, but the defaults are good enough to just work for me. Maybe one day I'll set up a whole dotfile management system, but I have too much work to do lol
I used VCCode for the longest time because yeah it just kinda works. My emacs config started very slim and I just add a little to it over time when I want something new. It keeps me from getting overwhelmed.
