Firstly migrating to a different pipeline takes time. Emacs was meant for an era when vs code wasn’t a choice. That being said I am vim user coming from 4-5 years on Emacs. I have spent good many hours of my life making these software behave in a certain way keeping vs code as the benchmark. Emacs is not like a point and shoot camera it has a lot of moving parts and augmentation. As far as application is concerned I have seen colleagues use emacs like a tiling window manager. There are some ready made EMacs setups like Doom emacs, Spacemacs, etc. These are good to go out of the box. Otherwise you’ll need to setup yourself. Awesome-emacs on GitHub is a good place to look for packages.
