Vs Code is the gateway drug of real IDE's. Last time I checked, it still cant do things like navigate to definition, or rename a calss along with all mentions of it in comments. Or count TODO: comments

navigate to definition -> f12

rename all instances of class/method/variable -> f2

count TODOs: too many vs code plugins that will do that for you

Not sure when the last time you checked, but vs code is a practical full fledged IDE with the right plugins.

I don't think this is accurate - at least not anymore. VS Code supports LSP configuration which means all those features should be available.

That said - I haven't used it in years. Way too heavy and Vim does all of those + modal editing.
