I understand that VSCode has changed coding for you. But how has it changed anything for the 92.8%[0] of developers that don't use VSCode?

I haven't loved working with a tool so much since Delphi 6, it has plugins for everything I want to do, they work really well, I can have a project open and use multiple languages seamlessly, it's extremely customisable.
It's right up there with Linux in my "tools I wouldn't want to live without" category.
That said as a lightweight alternative when I don't need an IDE I'm very much liking vscode, it's a strange world when my favourite linux editor is made by microsoft.
A big factor is probably that I started programming using Jetbrains tools (except some c++ in codeblocks before that). It's so awesome everything else just sucks.
The problem is when i want to try some language that is not well supported by IntelliJ. No matter how cool the language is i get frustrated by editors like sublime/atom/emacs.
