I would say, that with Enrich Gamma at the steering wheel, and Microsoft's money, VSCode is succeeding pretty well.


I'd think that VSCode eats into the 'market share' of Eclipse and the like, but I can't see it as replacement for Emacs at all.


Better look at the shape of Emacs market share evolution since VSCode exists.

Turns out JavaScript is more appealing than Elisp, plus the graphical capabilities of having a browser engine.


VS Code is nothing like emacs at all except in the most basic sense that they’re both text editors popular with programmers.


I am old enough to have used XEmacs when the paint was still drying.
