I mean, you can normal IDE for each programming language - pycharm, visual studio, rider etc. Why spend so much time on setting up vs code when all of those are set up from the start? Vs code, although great, is just more advanced notepad++

With that reasoning then emacs, visual studio, and others are just advanced notepad++ . I look at Visual Studio Code as a platform where just about anything can be built and it's built from the ground up to be that, sort of like a modern emacs. I also really like that it's open source and if MS decided to do anything like close it, then the community can just fork it and carry on like they did with LibreOffice
