As a C# developer on Linux, I wish this was more true than it is. Working on a multi project dotnet solution in VSCode is still far behind Visual Studio / Jetbrains Rider.
Its also worth pointing out that the more you add to VSCode, the slower it becomes. If you add the toolkits to make it compete with Jetbrains products, it isn't nearly the same lightweight editor anymore.
Yeah I think it varies by ecosystem. Java and C# have really good IDE support, made possible because those languages were designed in a way that made the jobs of IDEs simpler. For more dynamic languages like JS and Python, there’s less that an IDE can offer that isn’t easily provided as a plugin. For languages like Rust I think there is more potential for high IDE support, but up to this point I think text editors have dominated due to general preference and a lack of entrenched ecosystem support.
