Comparison of what exactly?
JetBrains' IDEs have built-in update managers. They present you each plugin, giving you a tick-box of which ones to update. The Toolbox app manages the IDEs, allowing to update automatically or not, install pre-releases, and roll back. It's polished.
The IDEs use the established desktop UI norms of toolbar menus.
They come with pre-defined 'Run' templates for many languages/frameworks.
There is a single Event Log for output of updates etc.
The left menu has words so I know what the icons mean, and isn't obnoxiously large due to over-use of large icons.

I agree its good for a single framework. But the amount of features/ui for things I'll only use once on a blue moon is too high. I'll take config files and shell commands over multiple layers of buttons and menus any day of the week.
