SIMATIC AX seems to be a step in the direction of VSCode integration.

Oh this is interesting. Tia Portal v19 has this clunky capability in which you can export, edit, reimport all scripts of a project via a vscode extension that communicates with the Tia Portal process. All that effort just to have better autocompletion, but the export/import loop feels inefficient & some scripts just can’t be exported.
Just about all PLCs have had export import for decades, more recently via xml.
