> It's not a weird gotcha when dismissing the tool. If you want to artificially narrow the comparison to "writing SW" (which is even narrower than text editing), then by all means - VSCode is the superior tool. But why stop there?
One, I wouldn't have conceded the crown to VSCode so easily as that. A fine-tuned Emacs config, with the requisite muscle memory and custom elisp, is a hot rod. I do use VSCode, and before that Sublime, but it was under protest, the details don't matter here but there were features I needed and no task budget for provisioning them in Emacs.
Second, why not stop there? I have a program for reading my email, it isn't VSCode, I'm fine with that. So telling me Emacs can read email is completely irrelevant to my use of VSCode. For most people, adding all of these features to the Emacs side of the balance backfires, because now Emacs has to be better than all the tools they use for that stuff, rather than just better at what VSCode does than VSCode is.
"Emacs does everything" is an aesthetic, and it has many decades of refinement, and people like it. That's fine.

This isn't at all what you're doing. It's more like if someone says "awk is fine for text munging, why would I use Perl" and your answer was that Perl has a web server.
There's such a thing as a like-for-like comparison. Emacs has org-mode, it has SLIME, it has paredit and parinfer. Those are all edges over VSCode, whereas checking email isn't. This conversation piqued my curiousity, and indeed, there's a plugin for that[0], a few actually, and yes, I'm sure Emacs does a better job, for some value of better. But I'll never know, because I don't intend to use either tool for that job.
