I'd argue this is a feature more than a bug. I haven't done much with VSC, but I have done a lot with both atom and emacs (via spacemacs). How do you find out even the name of what you are looking for to find it on the wiki? Is that snippet of elisp tested (or even testable?) What does it do exactly? Is it a passive effect, or something you have to execute a command to run?
In atom, you can find packages on the website or in the dedicated search in the editor. Popular packages get featured, so you can hear about things you wouldn't even know to ask for. Instead of static code, you get free updates whenever they're available. The code in most packages is tested. All the information on how it works is in the Readme.
Emacs is awesome, and currently more customizable than anything else. Tramp and Magit and Evil are best in class. But it's super difficult for a newbie to get started, and the windows compatibility is only so-so.
If you really want to just use code snippets to customize atom, you can! They have an init file for code changes, and a css file for style changes. There's even a website where you can find some of these little scripts: https://www.atom-tweaks.com/
