What did you do about key bindings? The default vscode ones rely heavily on arrow keys, but those things are just so far away from the home key. I can't seem to find a move up/down paragraph shortcut to map either. I've tried some of the emacs plugins but they all introduce weird behavior; I keep ending up in some random menu vs just moving my cursor around.
In effect, gritted my teeth and got used to it. I mean, the basic movement commands still work (or you can configure it so) so that helps.
But the benefits out weigh the sluggishness I feel at the keyboard. It was easier to get the rest of the team on VS Code and then I could start looking at extensions that bring things as close to what’s in Emacs as possible. That’s improved team productivity as whole (and my own when they do the same).
But there are somethings I long for. Magit was hands down the best thing for projects versioned in Git. I’ve not seen anything like it in VS Code. The other thing is macros and Elisp but as above that’s a double edged sword. I’ve actually thought about bringing some of those ideas over to VS Code at least for my own team.
