ime, the benefit of vscode over a text editor (i prefer kakoune, which has present, but low, community support vs. n?vim/emacs) was relatively seamless debug sessions. almost any other element is exceeded in an editor, to me --- the git integration of vscode is subpar, most vscode plugins i'd need have standalone counterparts (tinymist is the best example), etc. in emacs, these are exacerbated, as git integration is emacs is excellent (as i hear), and many integrations for emacs are well-maintained. what do you see as the benefit of vscode over an editor?
i haven't used cursor, and i've used clion only minimally. visual studio is quite a standup ide experience, and i'd use it were i on windows. but vscode doesn't seem particularly above the competition in terms of sheer capabilities.
