VS Code has some great features and plugins, and generally a good experience on both Linux and macOS. As a result, I use it periodically, and I like it. Most people in my developer circles use it exclusively, so it's definitely popular.

But I don't love it. Nor do I think it's the perfect code editor, or that we're in an Era of Visual Studio Code by any means.

I still find that I spend most of my time in vim as it is fast, and suits my development needs well without getting in my way.
