The terminal is not an impediment to "better features", and "user friendliness" is purely a subjective matter.
I find VSCode deeply unfriendly to my preferred method of editing code, and I imagine VSCode users find vim, kakoune, and emacs similarly unfriendly to their preferred method of editing code. Nobody is wrong in their findings -- what one finds unfriendly is objectively true to them.
But to say that I find VSCode deeply unfriendly is it not the same as your implying that terminals preclude "better" features and user friendliness. I'm simply recognizing preference, while what what you're saying seems to discount my (and that of many others) preference.
