I never once understood why people want to write code in a browser that isn’t even the same instance as the one they likely already have open. I can’t understand the mindset of a person who wants JavaScript to power the tools they use. Is it because they hate their hardware? Or the environment?
I hate the environment, that’s why I use vscode. After a long day outside, rolling coal on my 6x6 and littering out in nature, I come home and relax by turning on vscode and let it idle as I throw old tires in the fireplace. If you hate the environment like I do, use vscode.
Because it’s a well-made, useful, simple but extensible program? I really don’t care if it’s “a browser” (it’s not, just part of one). And it being not just a tab in my existing browser lets it do critical IDE things like write files and open a terminal (and be easier to find and differentiate from my research, product management, and testing tabs).
