Vscode is really the only IDE I use nowadays... The ecosystem is just epic and I've never noticed it being slow or hogging resources. Infact one team mate made that argument in favor of webstorm and we compared resource usage... Webstorm used nearly double the cpu and memory in the same project 🤷

VSCode is just an code editor, the Visual Studio is an IDE.

Yes? It's an IDE, where do you think that page says otherwise?

...and leaves more complex workflows to fuller featured IDEs, such as Visual Studio IDE.

I think what you're trying to refer to is that it's missing a built-in compiler, however, that doesn't disqualify it from being an IDE by any definition 🤷
