Honestly (and being old fart) I haven't played around and explored VSCode, I've learned to live and love the QB64 IDE but if you are young and adventurous and not as comfortable with the ole IDE I say give it a try

I had QB64 working with VS.Code. It was a little awkward because to compile/run you had to use a different combination of keyboard shortcuts, but it worked. However the big thing missing was live syntax checking, which I rely on. So I got in the habit of doing select all, copying my code, and pasting it into the QB64 IDE every few minutes for syntax checking.

Oh good you did try it out. Yeah it's not going to be same ole IDE for sure. I am not a shortcut key presser so much as a mouser but I swear I thought I checked it out for syntax checking and/or formatting like Dim MeWithCamelCaps and then typing mewithcamelcaps and seeing the caps being fixed. I wouldn't even have considered recommending because there is NotePad++ that does tabs too but not the formatting syntax checks. I will check again...
