My feelings stems a bit from what I experienced a while back.

I was helping my friend with his project (a Java project with a testing framework, forgot the name of it).

I told him to try vscode because it's lighter and flexible! While trying to setup his environment, we could barely get the whole project up and running, the tests could barely run and there was always some kind of hidden issue with the environment and he had no idea how the tests worked under the hood because his IDE did all the work.

He just had to press a green play button to run the tests and the IDE did everything.

I don't want to experience that, I want to have full control and know what does what.
