Yeah, DataGrip is extremely awesome. From all the Jetbrains Tools I miss this most. (I'm an unhappy Ex-Jetbrains user ...)

Switched this year to VSCode and the quality of most LSPs for VSCode is surprisingly good. Regarding your example: Just rename again. I can tell countless examples of Webstorm failing hard compared to VSCode.

So, from the technical point of view I would say VSCode is equally good.

What I miss most is the UX. Once you get used to the Jetbrains IDEs, their usability is really awesome.

My anecdote is just about the opposite. I was a happy Jetbrains customer for more than 10 years and all was fine (very fine, actually) on Windows for developing Angular on the frontend. Goland is a treasure. Kotlin with IntellliJ can't get any better.

But then I needed proper support for Vue 3, Tailwind and Svelte. VSCode was (is) light-years ahead but what drew me away was how Jetbrains handled the issues. Endless hours writing tickets, creating examples, ... for nothing. Finally, after switching to Linux it turned out that US int. keyboard layouts don't work properly. There's a workaround, but again, the way the support handled the issue was not what I expect from such an expensive service. I was basically told to read through years old long issues to find out how to manually fix it.

That was the day I canceled my subscription.

VSCode is totally up to the job. But somehow I'm still not happy.

Maybe time to try Neovim or Helix (multi LSP needed).
