Hi experienced devs , I am a beginner programmer. I mostly use code completion and go-to source , and rename function and objects, code-pretty. Other features not so much. What features do you use often And what features are not that useful in an IDE and can be considered bloat? P.S.- Which is that one feature that you can't live without?( sorry for sounding like tiktok wannabe)

well vscode isn't an IDE so not sure what that has to do with the question at all. You compared a GUI text editor with a console based text editor. Of course the console based text editor is faster.
