  1. vscode-js-debug

    A DAP-compatible JavaScript debugger. Used in VS Code, VS, + more

    Debugging experience ain't all that great on Emacs when compared to VSCode. VSCode just simply wins here. Due to some technical complications, Emacs doesn't support VSCode js-debugger. It does support an older chrome debugger which might or might not work for most. I honestly didn't test it that much. Also, for a debugging workflow, I find it easier to use a mouse than a keyboard. I have been looking at how I can port the js-debugger to Emacs but I'm not sure if I have the necessary skills (BUT I'd still learn a lot). So for debugging I have been relying on VSCode.

  3. doom-nvim

    Discontinued A Neovim configuration for the advanced martian hacker [Moved to: https://github.com/doom-neovim/doom-nvim] (by NTBBloodbath)

  4. edamagit

    Magit for VSCode

    There is a magit inspired extension for VSCode called edamagit. Last I tried it the bare basics were there, but things quickly fell apart when I tried doing anything more than staging a chunk and committing it. But I would image it’s only been getting better over time.

  5. tig

    Text-mode interface for git

    I would consider tig (https://jonas.github.io/tig/) if I weren’t using emacs as my daily driver. It reminds me of magit in many ways.

  6. VSpaceCode

    Spacemacs like keybindings for Visual Studio Code

    For setting up VSCode as a modal editor with mnemonic keys use https://vspacecode.github.io/. It wont be as good as doom/spacemacs but its for sure better than VSCode vanilla
