> 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.

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.
