It makes vi look easy-peasy Yes.  This is true.   VS Code isn't something I would use for normal stuff.   But many large open source code bases do use it because it is very powerful and can be expanded in what ever direction is needed. And with a large user base, that isn't a problem.  Somebody will create a Cheat Sheet and help you to get things configured so it builds the environment for your hardware and according to your desires.   But...   For anything being done for yourself...    You don't want to use it. If you tinker with large open source projects, you will have to learn how to get it installed and how to use its basic functions.
