> For most other languages, VSCode is easily almost on par with Intellij

That's a bold claim, considering the fact that most languages that have support from the Intellij platform benefit from refactor tools, quick fixes, linting, and code navigation. I'm not familiar with VS, but if it's anything like Sublime Text, Atom, etc. it probably only has syntax highlighting, some dumb auto complete and very basic navigation.

Also, don't forget Intellij has pretty decent support for Python, PHP, C#, C++, Rust, Clojure (all languages are personally tested) and even integrated git and db clients. Personally, I split my git activity between CLI and IDEA, but I have to confess, the IDEA client is the best I've used: integrated merge / diff tools, annotations, easy to browse logs etc.
