Every time emacs comes up there's the obligatory hate rant about how they moved on to better more modern tools with vscode being praised but everytime I've tried it, its slower than emacs and crashes more often or just flat out does not work. It seems its only useful for js.

I'm always on the lookout for better tools but I honestly feel there is nothing out there. My requirements are of course an emacs but better, why would anyone switch to worse tools?. It has to be faster, more stable but be customizable, its fine if it lacks features just as long as I'm allowed to add them myself. So far I haven't found anything.
