Is there a reason I wouldn't just use creator? Does VS offer me something creator can not?

  Tabs

    Qt Creator has vertical tabs ("Opened documents" panel) which is way superior as soon as you have more than 3 files open. It's also pretty useless since you can just <ctrl-k> <first few letters> <enter> or <ctrl-tab> to switch

  It has a better extension ecosystem by a wide, wide margin. Some of the benefits that can bring from my personal experience: - Using the same editor setup for tons of different environments (Python, C/C++, Rust, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Go, and more are all very well supported) - The VS Code remote editing extensions are fantastic: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview - There are live collaboration extensions that let you pair program with other devs over the internet, with really good responsiveness - The remote extension also lets you specify a dockerfile/image ref + plugin configuration in your repository, which can then be used for your editing. This effectively gives you transparent, Git-based, immutable development environments. This can be a big productivity boost. I've also found it pretty easy for most people to pick up and use, and it's also fairly lightweight and reasonable IME.
