This thread is ample evidence that not everybody is ok with it. Also, note that "being ok with it" and "seeming to be ok with it" are two extremely different things.


I'll leave you with this link, the top IDE index: https://pypl.github.io/IDE.html

Surely you can see that this top list is optimized for features, not for speed. So yeah, people can complain here on HN all they want, in the end the 'evidence' of which software is preferred is pretty clear, even in the programmer demographic.


Going by number of search queries is such an obviously flawed assessment method. These results could just as well mean that the users of VS Code experience the most problems with their IDE and thus need to search for answers more often. I don't know when I last searched for Vim on a search engine; stuff just works for me. :)
