IME language support and a desire for intellisense type features is a bigger factor. JetBrains generally has excellent support for that across the board, and it's sometimes lacking for some languages with Emacs
but size of the codebase doesn't really matter. At work we have a sizeable PHP codebase, and it's just as fast, if not faster, to navigable with ripgrep and fzf or editor plugins based on them as with a JetBrains IDE
