This is true for me too.

I still do some of my personal projects in Emacs, and I still use Magit, and dired, and a few others, but by and large my professional development is mostly in the family of JetBrains editors.

Ideally, their code analysis could work through a server and use Emacs as a frontend, but the existing tools don't even come close to what those IDEs can do. Emacs is great, but it's not the most productive tool for me to edit large projects.

I've seen posts about how to set up vim as a frontend for a headless Eclipse server, but it always looked to me like the payoff wasn't worth the effort.
