It's a step in that direction but some key things don't work. Like the behavior of ctrl+shift+D is not available in VS code. Neither is multiple cursor copy/paste. Text drag & drop is missing. There are many other small quirks that won't let me make the move. A decent ftp client is also not there. The only one that works is shitty entire folder sync, I can't upload individual files. Their git and intelliJ integration is good though.

Yup, this is what finally got me to make the switch. There are a few things that aren't the same like alt-click for column selection (alt+shift+click instead), but it certainly made the transition easier.

Keyboard commands are actually the reason I haven't stayed with pycharm for my day job. I'm hoping more IDE-like features make their way into the python extensions - like vagrant/docker integration with build systems.
