I've been using VSCode kinda on and off, but I haven't learned it properly yet. Do you think it's truly worth it? It seems to me like you'd use it mainly when you don't have access to a full IDE, so I haven't really found a niche yet.

VSCode is magical in my experience. I say this as a 20 year emacs user, and 10 year Vim user.

VSCode is good. But it is a memory hog compared to Vim. I need that memory for my compile/simulate tasks.

I wish someone could show me actual repl work in vscode for a lisp or erlang. It sometimes gets the way there, but doesn't to make it.

I think the plugin writers are either shoe-horned by VCCodes lack of plugin capability or they are basing their work off some other toolings expected behavior and it doesn't "sit right" with how I work.
