these are my favorite features, in no particular order.
* Tons of quality extensions, incredibly easy to install and manage
* Good color schemes
* ssh extension - remote vscode with all your plugins, themes, etc. with basically zero setup
* integrated terminal
I have no doubt that you can get a better vim setup, but getting vim fine-tuned takes a while for me and figuring out what I like. VSCode is convenient and easy, and works on everything, no suprises. Don't have to worry about fonts, terminal colors, config files, etc. I do think the vim plugin for VSCode is garbage compared with the terminal.
