> I don’t think VSC is a very good IDE though

As someone who has only used inferior IDEs to VSCode (grimaces at the thought of Xcode) and who thinks that VSCode is very good, what exactly am I missing from better IDEs?

Vim/Emacs (and variants) are like a tailored suit. VSC is like an off-the-rack suit. It's a silly analogy but it's probably the easiest way to explain it. For me personally it's productivity, and things like LSP quality in languages which don't have very good VSC plugins. The vim plugin for VSC is pretty bad.

That being said, use what works for you.
