I switched because my workplace has licenses for VSPro, and IT doesn't want us grabbing our own stuff off the internet.
What a disappointment! it's worse, and harder to use in almost every way. For the record I'm coding in Python and just need git integration and a debugger.
It's such a step back in design language and usability. Love to ignore free software in favor of its expensive "professional" counterpart 
For your job you definitely should try to convince them to let you use some combination of Jupyter or iPython with some better and lighter editor like Emacs. Apparently there's a new thing called Lapce. VSOld is just not what you want there, and it's too big for just a debugger and git integration.
