@justsitandgrin You will most likely not get much agreement here on the #Emacs.ch server for promoting every single aspect of VSCode.
Because we know that the issue of VSCode is not just a technical one, but first of all: ethical.
Emacs gives you freedom. Also Emacs enables people without any programming background to have a very powerful tool at their hands for all sorts of text-based workflows. Emacs doesn't phone home, has no telemetry and will most likely survive VSCode.
