You're comparing a text editor to an IDE. If you are able to do your work with a text editor, maybe you didn't need an IDE in the first place.

IDEs are definitely slower than text editors, but they have their benefits that comes with their tradeoffs (like most things).

vscode kind of walks a thin line between IDE and text editor. It has an integrated debugger, intellisense, linting, and plugins to do everything you'd expect from an IDE.
