Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Boomi

Subscription tier prices are not published; only the pay-as-you-go base of $99 a month plus usage is stated
Metered on several axes at once, including connections, users, environments and API transactions, so the bill is hard to predict from any one of them
Connection counts, environments and user seats are all capped by edition

Visual Studio Code

Requires extension installation for language-specific features and tooling
Performance can degrade with very large codebases (100,000+ files)
Git integration is basic; requires extensions for advanced version control workflows
