Most features can be covered by a few VSCode extensions like these:

Other code editors probably have similar extensions and syncing the notes could be done with Dropbox/git/whatever...

I am also surprised how well https://tabnine.com/ works with auto-completion for arbitrary notes.

Yes this is nice but you can't really compare it to a standalone app like Typora / MarkText besides how it handles the content.

Some people don't need the 1k features VS Code gives you but some really good, minimalist editor to write MD with latex, images etc. I would not install an IDE to achieve this.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. I'm a Typora user who had no idea VSCode had a markdown extension. I just played with it, and it's really good, and I'll probably switch to it now as I already have VSCode open most of the time.
