I am not going to try to change your mind, but I'll just point out that one of the highlights, in my mind, of the recent JuliaCon was the merging of the Juno and VS Code teams. All IDE development for these teams going forward will be focused VS Code. Have a look at the VS Code presentations available on YouTube. It is pretty amazing to see where they are now and the future is even brighter.

Do they have a usable debugger now? My last experience was 2 years ago, and launching it even on some trivial code took over 10 seconds.

The Debugger has come a long way, here's it running in 1.5.0 on my machine:

    julia> @time using Debugger
      0.115907 seconds (202.08 k allocations: 13.215 MiB)
    
    julia> @time @run sin(1)
      1.438537 seconds (1.85 M allocations: 90.376 MiB, 0.80% gc time)
    0.8414709848078965

    julia> @time @run sin(1)
      0.003900 seconds (23.39 k allocations: 1.057 MiB)
    0.8414709848078965

Whoa. This looks really promising now.
