This! I have been trying to switch to VS Code for dotnet core projects, wanting to ditch Visual Studio. It's clear that Microsoft is - willingly? - keeping VS Code an arm and a leg away from being close to Visual Studio. Refactoring is a hit and miss, the language server will randomly need kicking, code completion is at times outright trying to sabotage you - inserting random classes - and the whole experience makes impossible to consider switching to it.

And even their poster child language, Typescript, is handled by the code editor in a manner that's borderline unusable. If you ever used WebStorm the inability of VS Code to autocomplete with types defined in the same project is mind boggling.

All this said I still reach for it a lot, until I have to stare at a red file with an error on a line that's no longer there until you restart the whole thing and question my sanity.
