It's blazing fast, intuitive and snappy with an active plugin ecosystem.
I use VS Code quite a bit in my current role, and while I agree with most of what you just said, I do have to note that VS Code's startup time is noticeably longer than vim's. There's this weird interval where the window is up, but the editor tab hasn't loaded yet where the program seems unresponsive to input. Once everything is running, VS Code is fairly responsive, but that startup lag isn't something I see in vim.
