Why not just use vscode if you want a more featured experience, and vim/neovim if you want a minimalistic experience?

(not including the fact that Microsoft owns vscode and that some parts are not open source, im aware of that, so no need to mention it)

you can run VS code in browser, but i can run browser in Emacs. That's why Emacs > VS code. Also there are myriad of reasons to use Emacs, since it's more than just editor. It's environment that can be used to create anything you need to do what you want.
