Right, but VS Code's depth into other languages and stacks is quite extensive, as well. If I were promoting a new text editor (hell, or any piece of software), I would certainly set the most-visible defaults to hit the most common use case, which at the moment is web front-end oriented tasks. To get a fairly full featured C++ experience, VS Code is up and running in three mouse clicks and two text fields from the splash screen -- this includes automated downloads and installs of major pieces of Clang tooling. I also write a fair amount of more data-centric Python, and the experience is similarly painless (I haven't tried Rust or Go, but if f*ing C++ is this easy I can't imagine other stacks are worse), so I don't think I'd call it web centric at all!
