I'm curious what are your use cases for which vs code is not suitable? I'm on windows and I work everyday in c# on the backend and I use vscode almost exclusively because I'm really sick of VS. I really dislike the button first Interface and I dislike it's input lag. In vscode keyboard focused workflow and extension interface is first class. You can set up your own extension and build custom stuff for your workflow in no time. It's truly empowering. The only time I start up VS is when I'm consolidating package versions of the solution, but maybe there is even an extension for that, I didn't look. People are shitting on vscode for electron but my experience is it uses less ram and it is far more responsive than VS (I did not use rider so I cannot compare).

It’s a lot of the higher SKU features mainly in VS that I haven’t found equivalents of elsewhere (although maybe they exist).

Two examples that come to mind are IntelliTrace and the snapshot debugger (PDB snapshots from a live session are a step change in terms of debugging live issues).
