Have used Rstudio IDE extensively for past 3 years but recently switched to VScode.

VScode feels more refreshing as compared to RStudio. I love the extensions within VScode that allows it more flexibility as compared to RStudio. Also ability to view hex code as colors in the editor itself. Plus the ability to sync settings using GitHub is so convenient when using multiple computers. On the flip side, Rstudio is more convenient for beginners and being very R focused helps to focus on the "Statistics and data munging".

As for the Rstudio as a company, they have supported Python in the past but with the Quarto they went to extend beyond that. I feel Quarto is still work in progress and has more ambitious outlook as compared to RMarkdown. RStudio cloud is a good option when one have to use specific version of R and alleviates the "Reproducibility" issue to some extent. Especially, when someone does not want to deal with Docker or similar platform. I think RStudio cloud is one of my favorite offering from the company.
