While I think VSCode is an excellent editor these days (I use it daily for React), it does have the bad habit of having me reach for the mouse all the time. While almost everything is bindable the UI in itself (same as most GUI first interfaces) makes certain sings cumbersome (or impossible with keyboard only).
That is the main reason I keep coming back to Emacs and Vim, more so than configurability, which I am not entirely sure I see as a net win anymore due to endless procrastination possibilities
