Outside of Java, jetbrains doesn't have much or anything to offer against vscode, hence the GP's comment.

Jetbrains is even lagging behind, look at vscode remote capabilities which is way ahead jetbrains remote features.

For scala, Jetbrain IDE is far better than VsCode + langage server protocol

For the time being...

Eclipse, Netbeans, Visual Studio, QtCreator look quite nice to me.

Best of all, I can use Java in any Java IDE.

having used the first three extensively , i’d say intellij is miles beyond them.

Indeed it wins hands down making my laptop sound like an aeroplane getting ready for takeoff with its continuous indexing, while making generous use of the existing memory.

Needs additional configuration for what the others do out of the box, like Javadoc tooltips.

Requires ten finger shortcuts.

It is also the only Java IDE unable to do mixed language debugging, Java/C/C++.
