Show me how to do the following in VS Code:
1. Org mode, or anything as powerful as Org mode (org mode is one of the two major packages that keep people in Emacs - it's not an obscure thing).
2. Reading, writing, and managing email (e.g. adding a tag to an email). While you're at it, please make sure the org mode equivalent can have a TODO linking to a particular email.
3. IRC
4. Feed reader
I honestly have not searched whether these exist in VSCode, so it would be nice to know.
