.NET Hot Reload Support via CLI

This is what keeps me on Visual Studio. It's free for personal and open-source use, so I use it at home.

Since I know it and am familiar with it, I make my employer pay for a commercial license at work. In the grand scheme of things, it is not that expensive in a commercial setting.

VS Code is great, but I do not think it is a comprehensive replacement for Visual Studio proper when doing full stack .NET development.

You can use OmniSharp. It is not ideal, but makes life easier.

Though it seems MS actively disallows employees to come n tribute to them.

If you do GUI work, you pretty much have to use VS. :-/

Intellisense is not that good. Intellicode is missing. Managing nugget packages is not so well integrated. It's harder to debug and investigate memory leaks. I can't see code coverage in the editor or run tests with right click straight from the method I want to test.

It's usable for sure but the development it's not as fast as in Visual Studio.

I still use VS Code if I want to modify some files like XML, json, yaml, and I don't want to fire another instance of Visual Studio for that.

VS used to be heavy and bloated. But that was a long time ago. I use VS since 2010 version. It improved by leaps and bounds since then. New 2022 version is almost as fast as VSCode, if you have a good PC.

Microsoft's official C#/.NET extensions for VS Code use OmniSharp to provide IntelliSense, so I think they are becoming a lot more friendly on that front.

As others have already pointed out, OmniSharp is "good enough", but what's built into Visual Studio is still a lot better.

I feel like VS Code might be better fit for Typescript, Javascript, Python. For C# and C++ I would prefer Visual Studio.

Even with extensions, VS Code feels like an text editor.

Rider is also free for open-source and academic use.
