The fundamental difference is that in Vim, a tab/window contains splits, whereas in VSCode and every other editor AFAIK, a tab is a child of a split.

In Vim I can have test and implementation side-by-side in tab0, and then two splits of the one file in tab1, a header file, impl and test in tab2, etc.

With another editor, I have to switch tabs in split 1, then switch tabs in split 2, rearranging or adding more splits as needed when moving between different groups of files.
