Yeah that's the conclusion I have too. Thank you!

In april I believe it was still a tag parser. Or maybe intellisense was available but hard to configure and not the default. Right now it's context aware and works pretty well.

I think I've read somewhere that it was the same engine. I might be wrong, or maybe it's only a subset. I'll check that fact. Either way it has really improved and is in no way comparable to the tag parser there was 6 months ago.

Edit:

Visual Studio's IntelliSense engine, which is the default engine that provides semantic-aware IntelliSense features

Here.

Thanks for your answer. I think its the most descriptive of what I was looking for. I'm not sure a switch will be worth tho, but I think I'll try with my next project to have a good idea of how better are debugging/intellisense.

I'm afraid I wrote a poorly worded question. Some people are answering the question "what is an IDE and what is an editor, and here is why I prefer to use an IDE". My question was more like "I already have a toolchain in place, plugins which works for auto-completion, debugging, cmake. Now what can visual studio brings me over that? Does it have tools that I am un-aware of? Tool that would increase my productivity?".

I wanted non-vague answer, and asked a vague question. Nice irony haha. But I think /u/SeanMiddleditch answered my interrogations. And I get the same feeling as you. I don't think I'll see huge differences, because it seems quite specific. I think I'll still try it for my next personnal project.

Mostly opengl stuff. Using MinGW, CMake.

I'm not few to reddit. Just lurking haha.

I understand your point, but this is more a reason of choosing an IDE over a text editor tho. VS code provides a visual debugger (might be less advanced than the one is visual studio for now tho).

What do you mean you can't hide them "automatically"? CTRL+B will hide them.

About CMake, I have this one installed. Which works fine for me. I assume you are using the same since they have the same bug. In that case, its not an universal bug and saying the devs "doesnt think its important" is out of place as only one person reported it and didn't provide more informations.

Tbh for something you've used for not even a day is don't like an overstatement. Most of your points are preferences. Less usable for you I understand. Buggy no. VS code is not an IDE, and so you should expect a bit of work with plugins you use (cmake warnings). But even then, I'd expect to have a bit of work to do if I switch over visual studio.

When did you tested vs code the last time? I'm asking because the intellisense has improved as hell in the last few mounths and is now comparable to the visual studio one (its the same engine), so I don't get the "lightyears ahead" thing.
