I use emacs because the elisp system makes it easy to add custom workflows or functionality. I'm not sure if the same is true for vscode, but from my past experiences with vscode users they tend to do very little modification of any kind and just accept what's given to them. The IDE is the most used tool for a developer, so being unable or uninterested in personalizing that tool can be a heavy loss in productivity over your time as a developer.
