I agree that RStudio is great for R-related stuffs (R, Rmd, Rnw, Rcpp, etc.), and it should be great to keep users. If your workflow needs other stuffs that VS Code does better, it's worth to trying. VSCode has great out-of-the-box functionality and extensibility. You may be able to find or write VSCode extensions to imitate RStduio functionalities, but the chance that you will miss some RStudio's functionality is very high. If you are interested in other editor/IDE, check out other alternatives such as Vim and Emacs. If you're concerned about the editor popularity, a talk in EmacsConf would be helpful.
