You forgot massive codebases. Language servers really struggle with anything on the order of the Linux kernel, FreeBSD, or Chromium.

VSCode is not an IDE, it's an extensible text editor. IDEs are integrated (it's in the name) and get developed as a whole. I'm 99% certain that if you were forced to spend a couple of months in a real IDE (like IDEA or Rider), you would not want to go back to vim, or any other text editor. Speaking as a long time user of both.
