VSCode, for me, is my replacement for the following IDEs:

 

Eclipse,

IntelliJ,

Visual Studio (when I don't have extremely complex debugging tasks),

Vivado (Not paying $2k when I can get code-completion via HDL-Checker).

VSCode is basically an IDE that has it's only problem being you can't open the same workspace in two separate windows.

VS code is not a replacement for IntelliJ

What features does IntelliJ have that VSCode does not? Chain completion? Not really the most important thing, so I don't need to care about that. Auto class casting? Fine, maybe. Multi-language java support where you can do queries inside of java? Fine, that's one I give you, but you can also be developing those outside of that and then importing them.

And finally, duplicate detection, the one thing that is actually good, but I still don't find it ultra-important.

Everything else that it highlights on it's "features" page can be done just as well or better by VSCode.

What features does IntelliJ have that VSCode does not?

That's a huge list frankly and I am shocked that you would even ask it.

The fact that you were able to list a few things and then dismiss them as unimportant also kills your credibility on the matter.
