VIM and Emacs treat the process of editing text completely different. Atom and VS Code do not.

I didn't mean to compare how they work.

What I am saying is that VSCode vs. Atom is the same "war" that people who like to use VIM have against people who like to use Emacs. The people who defend Atom/VSCode do it the same way people defend VIM/Emacs, it doesn't matter if one was built with tiger's blood and the other with wolf's blood, the "war" between them is just an ideology, otherwise everyone would be ignoring one and using the other.
