What if I understand what an IDE gives me (especially one from JetBrains) and _that's why_ I'm choosing VSCode/Sublime/vim? (Not for Java.)

In the comment you replied to, which qoutes the article:
> In the web space it is understandable to use an editor as web developers are typically working with dynamic languages
> But in Java, especially professional Java, you really get a lot out of a good tool
umm... while I doubt there could be anyone in this scenario..
What are the reasons that make you intentionally "lose" the advantages of the IDEs?
What do you have in return?
IntelliJ is slow on my PC and unusable on my Laptop. VS Code is fine. Also, I don't use Java.
I can use the tool I’m already familiar with, that also supports other languages, that has a huge number of extensions and configuration settings, etc. I personally see this as more important than an IDE, that’s why I for example use VSCode instead of Visual Studio (on windows).
