Comment on Ask HN: What are you doing this week?

Building my own VSCode replacement. As a life-long Micro$oft hater, I can't describe how ashamed I'm for moving from emacs to VSCode "because" of the hype.

If you are fluent with Emacs, I imagine there is nothing major VSCode can do but Emacs cannot?

Disclaimer: I never used Emacs and mostly use VSCode, but I heard that emacs is very powerful.

I don't like emacs that much anymore, it's cool to impress juniors at work but it's just a cult productivity-wise.

Yup, totally. Emacs users been impressing juniors for fifty, and vimmers for over thirty years. Pretty much ALL software was ultra-productively done just this decade. Nobody really wrote anything before VSCode came to see the light ten years ago, most were very busy being junior-impressing cultists and remaining seven people actually done some shit in Eclipse and Netbeans.
