just installed vscode. first 5 min impression: fantastic!
now if i happened to implement xah fly keys in vscode sometimes in the future by some accidental boredom or such, then, emacs would be history. like, good bye 20 years of emacs.
i happened to install vscode on a whim now, cuz am working on modern js stuff webpack and it generate minimized code in 1 single line, emacs freezes with long line. and everytime i mention it, emacs fanatics flame you and lie.
