The whole "VS Code is an editor, not an IDE* argument doesn't hold water anymore. There are decent to great LSP clients for many languages. VS Code has git integration. And by far the richest plugin ecosystem of any editor/IDE. Yes the Intellij solutions are often better and top notch for languages like Python/PHP/Go/... And everything feels more integrated and coherent. But VS Code is still very far beyond a dumb text editor.
