Exactly, VSCode is done by well known people from the GoF book, Visual Age and Eclipse IDEs.

That doesn't mean it's any good - which I admit is subjective. I'm sure they've put good devs doing a ton of work into making an IDE they believe in but having used it for a couple of years I don't enjoy the experience.

Nothing feels obvious or simple, and trying to work in Python or embedded C++ compared to using Jetbrains tools feels like I'm missing so much. I've gone back to pycharm community edition because IMO it's light-years ahead of vscode in usability.

I guess people say the same about emacs.

I maintain VC++ was a better experience than vscode; whoever is working on it.
