I have, and the biggest benefits for me have been:

  * Intellisense - this is *incredible*, and it works out of the box with VS Code

  * Git stuff is pointy-clicky integrated...this is a big time-saver for me, since I check stuff in just a few times a day, and I don't have to think at all about git commands after writing a bunch of C#.  I can click my way through instead.
The interface is a lot more attractive to me than Emacs has ever been (or will ever be), and I really appreciate how easy on the eyes it is, both in terms of eye strain as well as a pleasant visual style.

I'm also pretty comfortable using a mouse--i.e. I don't feel the need to keep my hands on the keyboard at all times--because, when it comes down to it, I spend a lot more time thinking than typing.
