Why the hate towards VSCode? I think it feels mushy next to a snappy c++ built app like Sublime Text but I've been really impressed with all the work Microsoft has put in. It feels better for typing than Lazarus does and it looks more modern/tighter. I now us VSCode for my Pascal debugger now even. The plugin system is far ahead of the cryptic system ST uses so I hope those people are paying attention to what VSCode is doing.

This is all my perspective as Mac user and I don't admit that Lazarus looks better on Windows and even Linux.
