Yeah- its open extensions model was a neat idea, but in practice it made it slow, buggy, and complicated to configure (extensions would have dependencies on other extensions, etc). I really tried to stick with it, but as soon as I tried VSCode I sighed a breath of relief and knew I couldn't go back
I think the most egregious example was having two competing IDE hints extensions (not the content, just the GUI). They could both be enabled and they could fight each other or overlay each other if they were. Some language extensions then depended on one, and some depended on the other. It was kind of a mess.
