VSCode is impressive, but to keep it in perspective, consider that an editor with a bug might corrupt a file, an OS with a bug might corrupt an entire file system and at worst a bad OS could actually damage hardware. Windows, MacOS, and Linux or BSDs are incredibly impressive software.
Emacs has around 6000 packages available from the most common repositories. Nine years ago Emacs had over 1.6 Million lines of code. It would be much larger now. How many lines of code in VSCode? I don't know.
However, consider really large projects in lines of code (see [1]):
Average iPhone app: .... 40,000
Space Shuttle: ........ 400,000
Windows 3.1: ........ 2,300,000
World of Warcraft: .. 5,250,000
Android OS: ........ 11,800,000
F35: ............... 24,700,000
Windows 7: ......... 39,300,000
Facebook: .......... 61,000,000
Google: ......... 2,000,000,000
