...Whereas as an Emacs user, I put a lot of work into customizing my tools, learning to work as efficiently as a possible with the tools I have, and all that, and so have a greater connection to them.

We don't have Dialog editors built in, we don't have SQL Server or Azure integration. But we do have doc intgration, courtesy of OmniSharp for C#, and courtesy of various packages for other languages.

Sure, it's a good bit of work, but you get a better environment out of it.

That's subjective, though. For some people, it's use the same tool for as much as possible; for others, it's use the right tool for the job.

There's pretty much no objective way to compare Emacs to Visual Studio (or any other IDE, for that matter) since they all perform the same general functions, some more generally than others. When you get down to specifics, it's usually a case of apples and oranges.

It's a fair point.

But at the end of the day, I still think my apple is better. :-D
