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).
What are the reasons that make you intentionally "lose" the advantages of the IDEs?
What do you have in return?
