Does anyone know why it looks much better on VSC than WebStorm on Mac? Would love to love IntelliJ products but I can't stand the way they render text.

You might have to enable/disable (subpixel?) anti aliasing?

I couldn't find that option, I think they removed it. I improved it by changing the theme, dark themes seem to render a bolder text.

I'd imagine that IntelliJ products use whatever text renderer java has instead of the system renderer.
