Holy fuck, I’m in love 
I’m sorry but I’m too far deep into emacs to ever use anything else
I wish I got into emacs when my brain was still playable lol. Every time I open it to try and learn I feel like I spend 70% of my time messing with configs and scripts/extensions. Same with Vim (though vim/vi/micro/nano are fantastic when I just want to quickly edit a file).
I hate that I’m just a VSCode plebian now, but the defaults are good enough to just work for me. Maybe one day I’ll set up a whole dotfile management system, but I have too much work to do lol
I used VCCode for the longest time because yeah it just kinda works. My emacs config started very slim and I just add a little to it over time when I want something new. It keeps me from getting overwhelmed.
That’s what I’m probably going to end up doing too. I have to use Windows for work though, and interact with weird ass APIs that only have closed plugins though Microsoft channels though.
Like the ArcGIS Pro debugger only works with VisualStudio and VSCode, I need to be able to hook into the running process so I can set breakpoints in my scripts since their codebase is so fucked that sometimes the only way to tell what’s happening is to read a dump.
I want you get away from ESRI, but it’s like trying to get away from Autodesk. Even if you have a solution that works well, getting anyone to accept it is almost impossible unless they happen to have some weird nerd or a Dutchman on staff.
