It depends on your workload, I think. VS is more of a heavy IDE for a Microsoft stack, while VSCode is a more of a jack of all trades text editor. And I'd probably use VSCode for a NodeJS project, while VS for a C# desktop app (though either can work). So yeah, they have overlaps on their use case but still target different workloads.
