What VSCode offers on this front that strikes me as a really killer feature is the command palette. It's a great UI - whenever you want to do something, and you're not sure what to do, just hit the hotkey to open the command palette (on Macs it's shift-splat-P) and start typing the name of what you want to do. It'll give you a menu of actions, and, if a hotkey is assigned, show it to you.
It means you never need to leave the keyboard to hunt through menus to find something, and you also don't need to read through endless lists of hotkeys and create Anki flashcards for them just to get yourself pushed over the "I can't get any work done here" phase of the learning curve.
