Re:John Carmack: Best Programming Setup and IDE – Lex Fridma... by rudnevr on Monday August 15, 2022 @09:39PM (#32478264)
Absolutely, and I wonder how people who are not professional in both IDEs can compare. Typically VSCode + plugins + some additional software from old time like BeyondCompare etc. poorly make up Intellij's core functionality.

I haven't seen a single person who seriously used both and went back.

Search, VCS, keymapping, defaults, heuristics, refactoring wide of use, AI-based autocompletion - there's simply no real adversary.

Last time I was blasted when copying an old DB to a one in a new DB it correctly guessed the renamed columns based partly on type and size, partly on column names.

Also I love its suggestions so much that when learning a new language I always look at Jetbrains' respective autosuggestions - simply because it makes me a better programmer, faster.
