Pros
Pro Great performance
For a 'wrapped' web-based application, Visual Studio Code performs very well.
Know any positive aspects of this option?
Cons
Con Not a Markdown Editor
Visual Studio Code was never Intended as a markdown editor, rather a code editor for programmers. Many apps can open and write markdown. Actually you don't need any app as it is plain text. Dedicated markdown editor has some quick features which others don't have.
Con Memory hog
Allegedly, VS Code is "lightweight". Yet, running multiple instances of it at once, you may get many "out of memory" messages from Windows despite 16 GB RAM. (While of course also running other things. The point is the comparison with some other IDEs/editors where running them alongside the same number of other applications doesn't cause Windows to run out of memory)

additional extensions make it a very powerful editor for any kind of purpose. markdown extensions gives so much good features like TOC, importing links automatically, lookup of pictures when adding the markdown syntax.

Have been using VSC since its launch (switched from Atom). It is my go to editor for all things web related. Agree fully with another commentator - this is the best software Microsoft has ever created. Well, maybe equal to TypeScript!
