Well, kind of. The TL;DR is that I don't think people using Notion would be very happy if they had to switch to a general-purpose text editor like vscode. General-purpose text editors are not focused on note-taking, so while apps like vscode are powerful enough that you can kind of hack on top of it and build your own note-taking app on it, it just doesn't make a lot of sense for vscode itself to support printing notes, or hyperlinking between them, or adding a tagging system, or searching all notes containing a particular attachment etc. And vscode has been developed for way longer than most of these new apps, eventually the set of features provided by these note-taking apps you would want to use that vscode just doesn't provide, either at all or in an integrated-enough way, should grow considerably.
