I tried out VSCode a year ago coming from emacs, but I couldn't bring myself to get started because I missed Emacs' helm-find-files too much. VSCode needing to have directories 'added' before it can navigate to them, and not really showing you the directory tree structure was already a dealbreaker for me.
To be honest, I was a little afraid when I commented that you'd point out some simple thing I had missed, and that I would then feel compelled to give VSCode another try. So thank you for helping me keep my emacs security blanket.

Yes, I admit this is a pain-point I have no solution to.
My current project is mostly contained to not very many sub projects, so it hasn’t been an issue.
