Visual Studio Code is less than a full featured IDE, and more of a very advanced code editor with told integration... The ui is much more minimalist in VS Code than full VS, Eclipse etc.

It's not that it doesn't do the job, it's just a different workflow.

As it stands, VS Code is probably the best tool for JS/Node projects or today imho. And from what I've seen, one of the better options with plugins for go and rust.

It's also available for Windows, Mac and Linux... Much faster/lighter than others, including Atim.

I'm a fan of code, but no ties to ms...
