I agree with you. I mean, I love VSCode but it has this void that even extensions cannot fill.
Using my currently open Chrome to debug JS? Can't do it.
Autocompletions inside a debugging console? Can't do it.
Running phpunit tests with xdebug? Should be possible but after tinkering for more than an hour it still doesn't work.
All of these things work out of the box without any effort at all in PHPStorm.
What I do love about VSCode is the plugins that do work though. Easy development in React, Flutter, Laravel in one editor? Check.
It sometimes has better autocompletions because of the abundance of plugins.
It's really fast and typing feels snappy as well.
I wish I could use VSCode full time but I use these missing features all the time and I cannot live without them.
