I see a lot of people remarking that VS Code's killer feature is its extension system but I am not sure I fully agree.

Sure VS Code has a lot of extensions, but many of them offer only basic features or are poor quality. The extensions which deliver the most value are actually the ones supported by large corporations (like the Go extension from Google or the Python extension from Microsoft).

If another editor could port these powerful extensions I would care very little about the lack of icon themes and snippet extensions.
