a very important difference is that MS doesn't let you use some of their quite nice language servers unless you're using VS Code, e.g. Pylance: https://github.com/microsoft/pylance-release/issues/483

for this reason, the non-MS-built VS Code isn't equivalent to theirs, regardless of the license of the editor itself.
