    Emacs Org Mode for Visual Studio Code

  • LOL. I use Emacs for note-taking, spreadsheets, calculations, to-do lists, calendaring, email, static site generation and more. Please show me VS Code extensions that have feature sets comparable to those of Emacs packages like Org, mu4e, calc, etc. Here, I'll save you some time by eliminating a couple options:

    - VS Code Org Mode[1] has maybe 2% of the features of Org for Emacs.

    - The only VS Code-based mail client I've ever found is VSCode Mail Client[1], which was developed during a single month and then abandoned.

    VS Code is clearly for normies who use WYSIWYG word processors, webmail, etc. Suggesting that VS Code has surpassed Emacs for non-coding activities is laughable.
