I can say the same for Vim... My primary editor is Emacs, but I use vim if I want to edit something quickly in the terminal (config files, git commits, etc). If the codebase is bigger then I use the JetBrains IDEs...
I installed VSCode but I just don't like it. Until today I didn't find a use case for it being added to toolbelt. But I must admit that it almost won the editor wars, people just suppose that you use it.
Do you use EViL mode?

No. I have used exclusively Vim for some time before going to Emacs, and I switched because the package management in Emacs was better and because the plugins were more polished. Then I wanted to do "the official way", using the default Emacs keybindings, even though I find the Vim keybindings better.
I switched in late 2015, things were different back then. If it was today I think I would probably jump to Doom Emacs or Neovim.
Sounds like you didn't switch, but rather added another tool in your toolbox.

I use Emacs. And I use VSCode.
