I tend to let other people "master and config" VSCode and then I just go download their extensions. IMO that's the beauty of VSCode - critical mass

That's also available with emacs, though, it has its own extension ecosystem that's about as easy to access as VSCode's.

I don't think its as easy imo. vscode auto recommends extensions if you open a new file type and from what I remember (been a number of years since I installed a package in emacs), the extension "browser"/"market" was not as user friendly (in terms of raw info about the extension and in discoverability).

Yeah no, emacs package system is a giant mess, it's only "easy" if you've already drunk the emacs kool aid.

Sorry I just really hate emacs.
