VS Code is really meant for front-end development. I wouldn't want to use it for anything I compile or debug. I'd use IntelliJ for Java/Kotlin, Visual Studio for C#, F#, Windows apps. As with anything else in software development, it depends on the use case. I'm still partial to Visual Studio and for text I use Notepad++. I used to use UltraEdit, which has some features that were extraordinary (column editing). I've used VS Code for some things (PlantUML), but otherwise I find it cumbersome.
