I build developer tools and services at Microsoft (currently Codespaces, Live Share, IntelliCode) and maintain some OSS projects (CodeTour, GistPad, CodeSwing, WikiLens)
Nope! They each have their own unique strengths, and in most cases, target very different developer preferences (e.g. fully-featured IDE vs. editor + your choice of extensions). If you’re finding that VS or VS Code works better for you, then that’s awesome. But VS has a massive user base, and is the premier tool for many scenarios (e.g. .NET dev, C++, desktop apps, etc).

Have you given VS 2019 a try yet? The team made massive perf improvements across the board in this release, and I actually run it in Parallels on my
Mac, with surprisingly good perf.

I really think that if we have resharper for VSCode, I will never look back at VS.
I just feel that VS was always annoying especially the 5 seconds it take to start, the amount of ram it takes, even the way it feels kinda bloated.
Still, can't replace it when doing ASPCore or Xamarin (but I really wanna see the day I can replace it by VSCode).

I really would like to do so, the last version I used was 2017 with ASP Core 2.1
