Bias: have been a regular Emacs user for 2+ years for org-mode and programming mostly in Rust and python, but not in js. Have used VsCode but not extensively.
VsCode looks extremely easy to get up and running in, but generally looks simultaneously heavier and lighter than I want out of my editor. If I wanted an elegant customizable standalone code editor, I’d use NeoVim. If I wanted a customizable organization layer on top of my operating system, I’d use emacs. Eg, I see applications like Roam and Anki get mentioned reasonably often here. I use emacs packages for those tools, and so on.
