In what ways are they “light years” ahead of the competition?

Local history. Diff tool. Refactoring. Smart completions. And it just works out of the box, without extensions that may work or not, depending on how the maintainer finds time for updating.

vscode has all of those except for local history. You can argue that intelij does it better but that just a subjective opinion. Even when it's true that is just doing things slightly better, in no way "light year ahead", with a major downsize of being a jvm resource hog. Even electron apps perform better. I've never had to wait for vscode running index on a project.

Vscode is actually "light year ahead" across the board with newer/niche languages like rust or ocaml. They invented LSP which makes supporting new languages way easier without compromising intelligence.

It doesn't support .env files out of the box.
