I haven't really used VSCode, but as far as I understand, it's a editor,
not an IDE. The other point being, that it doesn't run on FreeBSD - a
platform I use very often. Web only apps is not really my cup of tea. I
don't always work where there is good any any internet. It took me a
*long* time just to get used to our company using GSuite instead of
something like LibreOffice.

As for your comment about Eclipse. Just recently I boasted to Michael
about how awesome Eclipse and IntelliJ are (I do Java development these
day). They are like night and day compared to Delphi or Lazarus. The
amount of feature, how well they understand your code, the refactoring
ability, debugging features etc are all out of this world.

As for XCode - now there I fully agree with you. I helped out on our iOS
product for a while. XCode is just weird. :-)
