Some people get a bit weirded out about the multiple IDE situation (mostly folks whose current day to day is VS Code with extensions).

Usually that goes away when you get them to try some of the IDEs, the experience is second to none (as far as IDEs that work extremely well out of the box go).

The amount of times I've got praised for writing neat C# code that was Resharper doing its magic :P

The comparison to the bad old days when the IDE answer was always "Install Eclipse and this set of poorly maintained language plugins" is night and day.

The dollar-a-day I spend on the Jetbrains all-products subscription more than pays for itself.

I was one of those people up until around a couple years ago. Now I don't even know what I thought was such a big deal. The Jetbrains Toolbox makes it really simple to launch and update the individual IDEs.

My employer pays for the ultimate license, but I will absolutely pay for it once I move on.
