I can confirm that pretty much anything that can be done in VSCode can be done in Emacs from my seven yeas of experience. I guess the only hurdle would be having to spend some time to configure some things, though for the most part installing packages in Emacs is very hassle free. A lot of companies, probably to promote their product, will create VSCode extensions. These never seem to be absolutely necessary.

To me the biggest thing would be company politics. There's some companies that have a policy to use a certain editor (to share config and whatnot).
