Absolutely. It is a modern emacs. Emacs is from the 70s, vscode is 4 years old maybe.
VSCode integrates easily all new web technologies, although emacs still remains cleaner in some areas. For instance everything is a buffer completely customizable, while in vscode terminals, debuggers, left panels are “something else”. In emacs everything is easily navigable in a coherent way with only keyboard. Vscode is not there yet. And creating plugins in lisp is surprisingly powerful.
The big advantage of vscode is chromium that is well integrated with all operating systems, and nowadays it is very easy to find people who know typescript (while almost impossible to find someone who knows lisp).
At the end, vscode is the successor of emacs, as any successor it tries to replicate the best features adding new and more modern
Me neither, tbf. Although for vscode they use typescript and json. It is not so different, just more modern
The plugins are also more modern/user friendly and integrate better out of the box.
All these things make a difference.
