As an emacs user: One does not simply switch editors.
If you can just switch from emacs to vscode, you likely were using it at a very surface level.
Put another way one could switch from Java (jetbrains) to Scala(emacs), but still be writing Java code.
I think that there are users that treat IDEs and editors as a lowest common denominator where switching would be easy and others who build workflows on editor-specific features.
If you are the former, switching isn't a big deal.
If you don’t like something, switch editors. I don’t understand why some people self-flagellate and don’t just pick the right tool for the job. I’m very pro-open-source but that doesn’t mean proprietary software is all evil, you’ll drive yourself crazy if you take that to its logical end.
