Left is Intellij, Right is VS Code, same font same size.

Using the latest x64 jdk release on bintray, it's remarkably close for a swing based app.

It's hard to judge though, since the image has compression artifacts. Also hinted anti-aliasing may look well on one monitor, and bad on another (RGB horizontally vs vertically, or other arrangement). But ignoring this, the outlines look very nice in both.

And having said that, I actually prefer fixed non-anti-aliased, in fact very pixelish "Anonymous Pro 8" everywhere.

Left is Atom, right is Intellij and I think it's much better now than before when I installed Oracle JDK
