Why VSCode for TypeScript and not IntelliJ?

I use the community edition of VSCode, so I don't believe I can use TypeScript with it. VSCode also feels lighter than IntelliJ (quicker startup and a cleaner interface). I would use VSCode for Scala, but it doesn't have full out-of-the-box support like IntelliJ.

I have found these combinations make me the most efficient while developing. I am more interested in that than finding a single tool to meet all my needs.
