You can also do all your work in a raw text editor, yet you prefer VS Code. Same distinction for an actual IDE.

The Rust and C++ extensions are very far from what an IDE offers. They only handle basic debugging and code completion/browsing. With a few more extensions you can a bit better, but again, you are doing the job that an IDE is supposed to solve for you.
