What are you using and why?



IntelliJ. To name a few features I've not been able to get in VS Code or have had a worse experience: - debugger

- refactoring (extracting functions and variables, renaming across entire project etc.)

- context aware selection (expand selection from cursor logically)

- stack trace / error parsing

- comparing anything (diff selection with clipboard for example)

- DB schema support even in SQL formatted as strings (e.g. when using psycopg) directly from DB by just connecting to a DB

- find in files (I've never seen a VS code user have an easy time finding stuff)

Etc.
