JetBrains is nice but it has a heavy price tag and can be a bit of a memory hog. However, I think JetBrains have a better understanding of the code base than VSCode. A prime example is the premium Laravel IDE for JetBrains. It costs money, but it is far superior to what VSCode offers.
VSCode is still a really good editor. I use it for quickly editing files and one off projects from the command line.
Price is definitely a pitfall but I wouldn't say "heavy". If a person is already working as a paid developer, I'd recommend getting WebStorm (not the All Products Pack) still as it is extremely cheap (16 cents a day for the first year -> 9 cents a day for third year onwards)
Plus, Jetbrains does have programs to offer free licenses for various categories.
VSCode is a great product. WebStorm is also a great product. However in my opinion, price should be the least of a developer's concern when compare the two.

I would still recommend VSC to most people especially those just starting out.
If you get your company to pay or have enough clients, storm products are worth a try.
