insert Office Space NOOOOOOOO gif

Sorry but please stop. No one needs yet more bloat in Vscode, and its trying to be all things to everyone. There are already extensions for this.

Whats next, eMacs mode, Jetbrains mode?

That’s the fate of most ‘code editors’. They start as a lightweight replacement for heavy IDE’s, but becoming more popular, getting more and more features just to end up as heavy as IDE’s, but with less features still.

I agree - I already use an extension for emacs key bindings that mostly works.

With such a rich extension ecosystem I'd rather see them invest in enabling extensions to do this, rather than adding the functionality themselves.
