By the way, unless my English is terribly bad, calling someone lunatic for their choice of IDE may not be a great idea.
So nobody except Emacs users. ;)
But it also supports Gitpod, Google Cloud, GitHub Codespaces, Amazon CodeCatalyst, and Connect to Coder [0]
There's also Dev Container, that gives all the developers the same dev environment as a container.

BTW, CodeWithMe [0] urls can automatically install some viewer to be able to participate in the call, don't know if it's the full editor or not. But they can install the full editor the same way for the above.
It's definitely a very complex beast but once you do master that complexity it is such a power tool. Even though I routinely do work in IntelliJ I miss various things enough from Eclipse that I always go back.
I just wish it had proper Kotlin support.
However, my experience with it has been that once you get every plugin you need loaded it becomes dog slow and even basic stuff like reference jumping becomes a slow, tedious slog compared to Eclipse.
The most hate for Eclipse, in my job, comes from people who never used it. They basically dislike how it looks like and that it is not exactly same as Intellij.
I know VSCode is the "standard" editor for front-end devs, and so I assume some of them are trying to keep their code editor when moving into backend work. I have to believe it's not as good - for a time I really, really tried to make emacs work for Java development, but it just.... doesn't :)
