VS code has been my standby for years but the number of times it wants to restart for updates drives me up a wall, and what do I get for allowing constant updates? A giant modal popup [0] asking if I trust a folder enough to let VSC run automated scripts. Yes it’s configurable but i value default setups so I can more easily wipe my OS without reconfiguring everything.

I watched a video on JetBrains [1] and the keyboard shortcuts and navigation look genuinely well thought out, so I’ll be giving that a try (with a vim emulation plugin, naturally)

I live in Intellij, it has it's own minor warts but it's a superpower compared to anything else I've used.

It covers everything (code, inspections, docker, database layer, seamless multilanguage support).


Except for -really- big projects, like the linux kernel. Its indexing is.. not fun.
