I am mainly using Jetbrain's IDEs and VSCode simply can't compete. Not sure if we only compare open source IDEs, though.
We had this "deal" with new developers at my former company where they were "forced" to learn PHPStorm for two weeks, and then would get any lisence (if necessary) for any IDE of their choosing. Most of them came from VSCode, needless to say. Anyway, not one single dev asked for anything else than a PHPStorm license after that period.

I find that VSCode is ok for quick edits and small projects, but anything of any decent size I require a full blown IDE with all the features provided by IntelliJ / PHPStorm
