Im curious why someone would use emacs if they dislike lisp. To me its like writing SPAs without js

Emacs has a much more focused UI than vscode. It's not obvious to me how to make all the extraneous things I'm not editing disappear.
The emacs-compatible extensions as far as I've seen still haven't been able to make switching files in vscode as fast and convenient as switching in emacs. I spend more time maintaining software than writing new code in a single file, so this is a noticeable slowdown.
VSCode doesn't feel as fast. I never fully investigated all the reasons. But I might make another attempt to move to it after it has a few more years to improve.
Why use Windows (or MacOS, or Linux) if you don't like C?
Which aren't unreasonable questions; there are a lot of people who use XMonad despite not caring about Haskell, just because they enjoy using it.
