Emacs is not modern, to achieve the functionality of a modern editor/ide, with all the lessons/research done since the 70/80's it's going to take a huge amount of configuring. It's logical that using a modern editor like VS Code would be much more efficient.

Perhaps you should read the OP again ... your comments are off topic (Edit: obviously--the topic is not editors in general, and I'm obviously not guilty of what the response accuses me of).

Also examine https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

How is my comment off topic? VS Code is an editor as is emacs. There is nothing in the guidelines link that would constitute my post being wrong, however it does say

'Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.'

and

'Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it. Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. If you flag, please don't also comment that you did.'

Maybe it would help if you reread the guidelines yourself.

I'd say push tricycle.

After all chains are too complicated an you hardly need them in the kids playground.
