I don't think they need to embed a browser into VSCode considering it's already running in one (Electron). However I wouldn't be surprised to see a browser embedded into a browser these days either.

I used to use Intellij for everything (and I'm not even a Java dev). It is indeed very nice and comes with so much out-of-box around languages and popular libraries. However, Intellij is _sooo_ very slow to load and edit with. This is
