2023 isn't live yet, but 74% of respondents used VSCode in 2022[0].

That said, the numbers are hard to compare because they allow selecting multiple choices and they split the JetBrains products up, while VSCode is considered as one tool.

If you add together all the JetBrains products they reach 94%. I expect there's a ton of overlap that brings that number back down, but it's enough to make me suspect that VSCode's lead isn't as high as the numbers in the survey make it look.

One which is using npm for package management and the other using nuget. And guess who owns both?
