JetBrains literally has to ship its own fork of the JRE for things like decent font rendering: https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime

In its success it shows how badly Java has failed.

Because JetBrains is shipping a JDK11 runtime, and huge improvements have been made (including font rendering) in the past three years, ironically making it a pain for JB to update to JDK17.
