Java string interpolation feature has been cancelled

At work I use Kotlin. At home I often use Java.

My main reason for using it for my personal hobby projects is because I prefer another IDE.

And Kotlin is only supported by IntelliJ, which I admit is a really good ide, but not my favorite.

There are Kotlin plugins for Eclipse, VS Code, NetBeans, etc...

Last I checked they only did syntax highlighting, not completion. And Jetbrains were rather clear that it was not a priority.

I am happy to be wrong now though.

Edit, this is a good step forward, here is the list from NetBeans, the "Toyota Hilux" of IDEs and my favorite:

    Language Feature Support Status
    File type recognition √
    Project type 
    Semantic syntax highlighting √
    Formatting √
    Braces matching √
    Code completion √
    Error Hints/Fixes/Suggestions 
    Code templates 
    Refactoring 
    Debugging

At the pace this is moving now I don't know what will stop me from only using Kotlin in the feature.

The VS Code Kotlin plugin also supports the following:

Code completion

Linting

Semantic highlighting

Debugging

Go-to-definition

Signature help

Hover

Formatting

Document symbols

Find references

Can you share plugin for NetBeans? Last time I checked it was some outdated plugin from JetBrains (who, obviously, aren't interested in any other IDE).
