The ability to autocomplete, and navigate through the code (even my dependencies's code) by the click on a function, the popover showing the documentation/signature of the function i'm going to call. Those are Quality of Life features I'm not ready to give up on.

As said in a sibling comment, I often work on cross-language projects, I don't recall Jetbrains offering a "one size fits all" IDE.

ctags did most of that decades ago. Plain vim has good autocomplete and signature popovers, along with navigating to functions and class definitions. No LSP needed. An LSP will do it better but with sometimes significant overhead.

As I noted I don't use VSCode or a JetBrains IDE. I know about them and have used them. My setup works language-agnostic, and I also work in multiple languages.

Possibly useful, at least interesting:
