I find VS code quite nice but it's like Sublime, an editor I can enhance with plugins. I was a fan of Sublime until I started making an IDE out of it. You can get close but not quite. The whole plugin skeleton is like a house of cards, which prefers to collapse on Mondays :D
For me the best thing about VS code is the VIM mode (better than in Sublime), but I'm not really a fan. Too often the VSCode happens at 100 - 300% CPU load and the editor slows down the whole system.
So I'll stay with PHPStorm and Vim. Storm for the big stories and Vim for the stories where I don't need special IDE features.
I haven't really gotten to Emacs yet, if I ever did it.
Yes, this is one of the problems that always spoils my fun with VSCode. 2 or 3 VSCode helpers each causing 100% CPU load on its own. I think it will depend on a plugin, but that's just the same problem that has already bothered Sublime, which is why I prefer to use PHP Storm (most of it is a core plugin)
Just because you said, I got vscode using too much memory/cpu and getting really slow.
I guess I wasn't slow before because I wasn't using that many programs in the same time.
I switched back to my tmux+vim setup just to compare and even my batery takes less time to dry out.
Not sure if I will continue with vscode after this =/

I see your points. Do you get 100 - 300% CPU load when using vscode? I'm keep an eye on mine to see if I'm getting that too. Thanks
