We've heard the same argument for a good decade and a half now. It's still 80% theoretical, 20% real. Meaning that 20% of the time it's fine and you get a decent enough result, but 80% of the time you're fighting the edges and yielding a sub-par user experience. I mean, if we're at the point where VS Code is a "good IDE" and say XCode or Visual Studio isn't, we're in a very bad place where it seems like idealized visions or dogma conflict with reality. Higher level abstractions and cross platform solutions make a lot of sense for certain things in certain situations, but it is a developer convenience that always yields a compromise for the user. That's when someone else comes in with user-first solution and eats your lunch.
