Whoever thinks that VSCode does not have any learning curve or is somehow magically easy, needs to take a reality check, that thing is overwhelming with all its popups, hovers, sidebars etc. beyond all reason when you first run it (and later too). I'm an Emacs user and I don't in any way support the notion it's somehow easy or intuitively workable, it's most definitely not and never has been. I just think that VSCode is not it either, it's just the more popular tool right now.

I get so frustrated watching people fuss around in VSCode because they're stuck in it and they've never had the opportunity to see all the intuitive and more workable tools that a.. just part of the basic OS they are using. .. like keeping their console a tab taking up 1/4 the screen and trying to read a stack-trace ..
