VSCode isn't language specific, is it? Why would they come in handy?
Almost all of these IDEs have language-specific features in them. PyCharm has Scientific tools (like SciView) for generating graphs using code and data. Rider features a pretty nice Windows Form builder for generating and creating GUIs for applications. Etc.
I can't imagine it being very useful or practical to unload all these language-specific plugins each time you open the program to write in a language that can't utilize those features.
You build workspaces with vscode but the real magic is you never have to switch to visual studio or spend time configuring plugins for a new workspace each time you start a new project
Because sometimes you have an irrepressible need to spend cash on an IDE?
What I am saying is that I don't need an IDE to program stuff. I am fine with VSCode with extensions. With extensions, VSCode can be a multi(programming)language IDE. I don't see the need to have different IDEs for different programming languages. They do have their benefits.
