VSCode does all of the requirements that blog author wants, and much much more. I don't understand the effort really. This looks like nothing more then hype following blog post.
One of my requirements is remote development and vscode has that nailed better than any solution I've ever used. Remote host, container, container on a remote host, cross platform... it 'just works.'
The author doesn't even mention this use case, so I guess we're in very different worlds.
I've used VS Code and for __my__ use case which is a lot of stuff open concurrently, I've never found it to be performant. It always feels laggy. I'm a consulting and I make side projects so I always have a huge amount of context open at once.
