I agree. I’ve been using IntelliJ ultimate for a few months now and I don’t see myself going back to sublime or emacs. I do work mostly with ruby, typescript, golang and occasionally clojure. I recently found out that with the Ultimate version, you can install all the language plugins and won’t need the other IDE like Goland, rubymine, webstorm etc... They’re just plugins. So all your settings can live in one place

It's crazy how many disparate technologies Ultimate integrates for you. Here's a reddit post I wrote a while ago that lists nearly a dozen different technologies/contexts that I use IDEA for in a single project: https://www.reddit.com/r/java/comments/by2ow0/do_you_use_you...

And that's not the "toolbox" license suite - I do all that for the price of a single Ultimate subscription.

License for Ultimate is cheap enough that if you're going to buy 3 or more of their product, it's better to just buy Ultimate (assuming the tools are provided by plugins in Ultimate).
