If you're coding in Java, is it really not worth a few hundred dollars to be incredibly more productive in a tool design for Java instead of a fancy text editor? IntelliJ IDEA is incredibly powerful, and it's worth learning things like its more complex automated refactorings, postfix completion, live templates, etc.
Sure, but I’m not coding in Java any more. I’m coding in Python, Go and Rust which all have great VS Code support.
