I find the overhead of selecting a pop up, having it appear, often then using the mouse to select something, then pressing do is just clumsy compared to the low overhead command structure of Emacs. Search is a primary cursor move operation, for example.

I don’t think I’ve ever used a mouse to operate a single function in VS Code. Literally everything (in the actually literal sense) is available through a keyboard shortcut.
