It's important for our developers to be able to use a common IDE so that we can easily share plugins and configuration which relate to our stack and setup. Webstorm may be slightly better for Javascript development out of the box but VS Code is free and as such more developers are used to using it. This means that new team members are able to get up and running quicker.

React gives us slightly more functionality out of the box than Vue.js.

We use full-stack Javascript (Typescript) as it allows our developers to have a full control over the entire application.
