They just are though, once you realise how much more powerful they are.
I had a collegue until recently (he was let go), who was a staunch VSCode fan that refused to use Jetbrains IDEs. His code is terrible and riddled with bugs. Most of them were even easily detected by the Jetbrains IDEs. Now I have to clean up his shitty projects.
He also spend a lot of time configuring his shitty VSCode instead of working.

Oh yeah sure they are powerful, I don't deny that but I really hate the UX and the readability. At the end of the day, I don't really want to spend time to make it usable enough to my liking.
I've tried IntelliJ for both Elixir and Clojure. While Cursive is ok, I can confidently say that the vscode Elixir support is far, far better, and in Cursive vs Cider I'd take Cider any day.
Yeah, if your writing Kotlin/Java IntelliJ is a no-brainer, but for many of us the situation is much more nuanced.
