I've been a long time emacs user (15 yrs). After vscode was released, I abandoned emacs for most of my tasks. The effort to configure emacs is just too much when vscode does it seamlessly. Would you rather focus on the task at hand or maintaining your editor configuration! Setting up code navigation (jumping to a function and back, seeing all references) for C++ code was significantly complex to setup for emacs (compared to vscode). I choose productivity.
