(Of course, they were Outlook users.) Emacs did not show that orange color, so I didn't know. I used it for email, then I had to collaborate with people who wrote "please see my comments in orange below". I used Emacs for a long time, but slowly got weaned off it. I think VS Code is a nice coding environment with good defaults and many things done right (compare installing packages in VS Code to Sublime! What an improvement) but nowhere near the capabilities and the productivity of Emacs. I manage several projects with it and switch contexts with one key-combination: Vagrant box is started, project folder is changed, necessary files opened, ready to hack, build, deploy, do server restarts with a single key stroke. And I write the docu in Emacs in org-mode, with org-babel I can run shell-scripts / python-scripts and other code in my org-file and see the output underneath it (like Jupyter notebooks), link to code fragments in my org files etc What makes Emacs exceptional is you can link all these packages together, create your own workflows by scripting Emacs in Lisp. But even if you only use it for coding: Magit is the best git client I have used in years (coming from P圜harm + Git Tower App, which is nice), then there‘s Ztree-Diff (excellent folder diff tool previously using Kaleidoscope app), then Eshell for interacting with the server from within Emacs (programmatically if you like), Tramp for remote editing, excellent integration of ripgrep and silversearcher (ag) into Emacs for code navigation, yasnippet as an excellent templates/snippet manager, and many more packages. Emacs is so much more than just an editor. When you finally learn to master and config Emacs, you run circles around all other editors.
