Reflections on IDEA vs VS Code

For a professional, jetbrains basically pays for itself within a day of starting to use it (in my opinion). I know a lot of people prefer VS code, but I frankly cannot imagine why.

Well being free is still a benefit. And it is much faster then then any jetbrains IDE.

I prefer jetbrains like you, but some people like their apps to be really snappy.

The only thing where I really perceive VS Code to be faster is startup

The rest might be a tiny bit slower but it more than makes up for it with better UI/UX, code always feels a bit awkward

This really depends. If I open 20 large projects in the same vs code workspace it literally dies.

Doing the same in Jetbrains IDE is painful, but possible.
