I love Emacs and Orgmode, especially in combination with Sqlite. And I am convinced that VS Code - despite doing so many things right - does not have the versatility and the capability of Emacs, no matter how many packages are written for it because it is not intended to be configured by it‘s end users in a way where they read the code of the packages, learn from them, change them according to their needs and automate all kinds of processes / workflows with it. Emacs is an application framework for the user with a hacker mindset. And Emacs Lisp is the underlying scripting languages that invites you to play around with your tool.

Having said that: Yes, you can run your business with Emacs alone. But I am not convinced it is the right tool for the job.
