Seems like with all AI-enabling and just works out of the box experiences with VSCode and alike, makes GNU Emacs absolete. I'm aware of AI packages for GNU Emacs, but don't think is worth the investiement so much; I would mostly save it for org mode, TUI, and some other few packages. But for programming, it doesn't seem lile worth the investment, and use VSCode instead.
Certainly knowing things will always be valuable - but the effect of assistants and LLMs may be to change what it is valuable to know by devaluing a great heap of current generation’s programmers’s stock and trade.
As an addenda: by value in the above I mean “instrumental value” or more specifically, valuable to the rich who want to exploit the skills of others to become yet richer. There is always intrinsic value to knowing for the people who love to know.

GNU Emacs's auto-indentation is superb. Nothing comes even close.
Can you give an example of a specific language where emacs auto indent is better besides lisp?
Go and Rust, from what I remember. I haven't touched VS Code in a while, but I seriously doubt that the current version can indent any language better than GNU Emacs does. I'm open for being proven wrong, of course.
