What I don't like about VScode for C++: sometimes find source is very slow (much slower than doing a grep and opening the file yourself), and it opened the wrong file for one of my colleague, and find usage never work.

And I never managed to configure vim the way I wanted ('correct' usage of multiple tab when opening a function/file definition) That said I still prefer it over Eclipse or CLion..

I don't like VS Code git integration, WebStorms (JetBrains) diff/merge tool with syntax highlighting is superior.

Debugger also much better in JetBrains products

I am a Vim guy but find VSCode is the only option for TypeScript; none of the Vin plugins work quite as well. I'm happy with it. I much prefer my Vim setup, though, but for TS the seamlessness of VS Code is too good to give up. I enjoy the IDE part of VS Code; the editor, not so much.

Vim for vsc works pretty well. What don't you like about it! The word and line jump to are great.

Oops, I meant that even though VScode has many flaws (copy paste from the LinuxVM to Windows doesn't work), it still work better for me than Eclipse, CLion or Vim.
