it's a domain specific language

Yeah, but it's very configurable and has some extensions that have really changed how I work in an editor, that I can completely change the internals for on the fly, which is not a priority for vscode

I have no strong attachment to lisp and I agree having to learn it is a con and a time sink, but I've done some small extension development for vscode and hated it

Nevermind that you already know the language when it's behind layers of api cruft and a seperate compiler, then the debugger gives you minifed javascript bleh

Commercial arguments are a thing, but a bit reductive no? How would vscode extension development help you earn a job that grinding leetcode or that specific role would be better suited for

Until the day vscode offers something like elisp, no

He spelt truly wrong, opinion disregarded
