This sums it up for me. For languages with a dedicated Jetbrains IDE (Java, Ruby, Python, etc) Jetbrains will be better experience hands down.

For everything that doesn’t have the premium experience, I find that just using plugins isn’t as effective.

For example, the experience of using IDEA with the Elixir plugin hasn’t been great despite a lot of development. It seems like it constantly loses the proper SDK if I jump between projects.

The VS Code experience has been a lot better for Elixir though. Just works. The moment Jetbrains releases a dedicated Elixir IDE I’d jump for it though.
