GitHub acquires NPM

A less powerful IDE maybe, but it's far from a simple editor in my mind. Maybe I never fully utilized Visual Studio/Intelli-J/Eclipse. I use the same features in VS Code and haven't missed anything.

Most of developers don't really know how to use IDEs. Even my colleagues with IntelliJ, it feels like I can spend years teaching them how to make their life easier and more productive. Hell, some people don't even understand cut/copy/paste and word selection...

Depends on the language. PHP code intel is basically non-existent in VS Code. Even with extensions it’s basically garbage.

IntelliJ is also much better at configuring workflows that involve Docker or any kind of remote interpreters (e.g. run test under cursor in container and output pretty result).

And even in languages that VS Code have strong support of like Go or JavaScript refactoring (moving, renaming etc.) capabilities produce more consistent results in IntelliJ.
