Much like apache/nginx and linux profile scripts, it would be great if the main User settings.json file had an "include" directive, to load the "next" settings file. All the same settings will be allowed in this "next" file. If there are duplicates, the last one takes overrides the previous.
The rationale is that I can have a "base" configuration, which would be my personal preferences regardless of what environment I am working on, and ability to load/include "work" and "home" specific additions.
As of right now, my "home" and "work" preferences conflict with each other on some specific things, so I keep different settings files for both. But if I want to change some global preferences, I need to remember to do that in both places. This becomes worse when VSCode does an update, and there is a bunch of new preferences to set.
Alternatively, if the main settings.json could support a "per machine" (or an array of machines) settings in addition to global settings, that would also satisfy.
p.s. I know there is per workspace/folder settings, but that doesn't suffice
