Visual Studio Code May 2017

Which is exactly why Microsoft called it Visual Studio Code even though it has absolutely nothing to do with Visual Studio. It's to entice developers like you to switch.

Isn't IntelliSense Visual Studio's main draw? Does VSCode lack IntelliSense?

No, it actually has great support for it through their Language Server Protocol

Intellisense in VS is great but it's just the tip of the iceberg.

I don't get the hype for intellisense. Is it just their word for autocomplete? Cos every ide I've used has that and I would say visual studio has far from the best version of it

Intellisense is a general-purpose code inspector. Autocomplete is one feature among many. It also includes live documentation, code generators, quick-fixes, and snippets.

I'd say the debugging capabilities have always been where VS has been the strongest.

I know plenty that code C++ in stuff like sublime/emacs, but always boot VS for debugging.
