I've recently switched from Spacemacs (vim-style modal editing and keyboard commands, in Emacs) to "Vanilla" Emacs.
I've been finding that once I changed capslock to become control, the various keyboard commands in Emacs make a lot of sense to me. In fact, far more than I thought they would, to the point where I'm feeling a lot more comfortable and competent performing the shortcuts, which means I remember a lot more of them. (Remembering shortcuts has always been a problem for me because I have various Adult ADHD issues.)
Sure, it's just one person's anecdotal and subjective, experience, but I've found myself using Emacs to edit my code (mostly Terraform and Ansible) much more than VSCode.
