Yeah it’s quite personal at this point. I have used both but I am way more efficient with emacs. I also find the investment in emacs pays back more over time. Generally I also find emacs a lot more snappy.

But that’s just me, and to be fair I have used emacs since the mid 90s and vscode only for half a year. The past few years emacs developement/experience also improved massively.

It’s good to have choices ultimately and they both pulled good ideas from each other.
