Apparently not insurmountable ones.

Both https://github.com/parcel-bundler/watcher (which VS Code uses 
according to that change log entry) and 
https://facebook.github.io/watchman/ claim to work reliably and handle 
such issues.

I'm not really a VS Code user to speak from personal experience, but 
given the size of their user base they should have kinks like that 
worked out already.
