A comment on Ask HN: How software tools are made?.
JetBrains is (or was) based on NetBeans, which is written in Java.
I'm not familiar with Visual Studio, but it's likely written in C++.
In many apps that you use today, a lot of UIs are custom-made (i.e. written in C++ to draw graphics directly).
If you look to get started, there are a few paths you can take:
1. If you are on Mac, use XCode + Objective-C
2. Use a UI framework like Qt
3. Use Electron. Easier option. Auto-layout provided by html+CSS is a godsend.
