I’m still a huge fan of Emacs and I will try to find any excuse to use it.
But…
After spending countless hours trying to configure my Emacs config for web development, I realized I was putting myself at a disadvantage with all the time I wasted trying to emulate VsCode’s functionality.
Ever since I started forcing myself to use VsCode, I’ve been in love with it. It allows me to focus on getting work done without getting bogged down by a configuration I wasn’t happy with. Changing themes for fun does get distracting from time to time but I’m pretty settled down with Tokyo Night.

I’m also not a fan of tabs polluting my view.
