I always find it odd that their main README says all the telemetry is out, but then their DOCS* says that:
> Microsoft will still track usage by default.

have you looked at nyx? (https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/)
VS Code has this built in.
I personally have a set of ⌘N and ⌘W chords [0] for various creations and deletions. ⌘W S to close all saved files is a particular favourite; I don't really pay particular attention to my tabs anymore (just open on the filespace), which is one less thing to think about when coding.

There are many text editors extensible in Lua or in Python. They generally don't allow messing with the innards as much (Firefox proved that's a double edge sword with its extension, it's not an unalloyed good).

And Emacs Lisp doesn't feel super accessible to most software developers under 40. Almost all its conventions come from a small little island, it's like marsupials in Australia, their own little parallel evolution.

DOOM Emacs addresses this issue (and is an incredible, if opinionated, Emacs “platform”): https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs
> Gotta go fast. Startup and run-time performance are priorities. Doom goes beyond by modifying packages to be snappier and load lazier.
I’ve started to use emacs in my computer sciences school 30 years ago (EPITA in Paris). The Lab was surrounded by Mips, Sun, Alpha, … great time.
The only weakness of Emacs (according to me) was the lack of a good major mode (module) to edit web template : imagine editing a php block inside a javascript part embedded inside html.
After testing many modes, I started to develop web-mode (http://web-mode.org) that is now compatible with about thirty template engines. What a wondeful trip it was to discover the power of Lisp and what a pleasure it is everyday to know exactly what happens when I hit a key while editing an html file.
I am the only Emacs user in my company (kernix.com) but nothing would make me switch. I can not imagine using an editor that would not open in less than a second (or that would eat hundreds of Mo of RAM)
I Hope Emacs will see a usage surge with the inclusion of tree sitter… editing in emacs will be even faster and more robust. Not sure tree sitter is suitted for multi languages files … but for this you have web-mode ;)
Here vorpal's attempt to enhance my terminal experience by colorizing the command I typed effectively ruined my ability to use it in shell-mode. Having to shift out of emacs shell-mode to run these commands is a huge pain but I haven't found a very good solution for this. The ansi terminal emulation emacs provides with things like vterm partially address his but they have their own problems and don't provide the search features shell-mode does.
I suspect few enhanced output terminal CLI developers care about emacs shell-mode users, but I'm hopeful some of them might read this and take a little time to read https://no-color.org and ensure their programs honor things like NO_COLOR, npm config set color false, TERM=dumb, INSIDE_EMACS etc.
I occasionally try that as well and it sometimes helps but not for things like node apps that use https://vorpal.js.org REPLs. They just aren't usable in shell-mode.
