I tend to toggle back and forth between Intellij and Sublime. This is almost entirely because Intellij feels slower and less responsive. My Sublime setup gets me 90% of the way to Intellij.

I wish Intellij was as snappy as Sublime. I wish it was as intuitively keyboard driven as Sublime. I wish the community around Intellij was half as helpful as the Sublime one when it comes to plugins, extension, customization.

I try all the popular editors (Sublime, VS Code, and Atom) every few months, because I would LOVE to replace IntelliJ IDEA for this very reason. That said, I always come back to it because the intelligence and refactoring features are vastly superior to those of any other editor I have used. If I could have the best of both worlds, I would switch in a heartbeat, but I just haven't found that to be the case yet—though I'm hopeful that other editors will catch up soon.
