One thing that the JetBrains editors have that isn't found elsewhere is support for SVG.
Once you take SVG to a certain level the desktop graphics programs no longer help, they add too much cruft and you also can't do things like have the origin of your drawing in the middle of the canvas. Having the origin in the middle makes things easier to mirror, rotate and so forth, which you might need if building an icon set.
Being able to live-edit a SVG opens new possibilities, you don't have to assume that you need the graphic design tools to 'draw a box' and you can keep shapes such as circles as circles, not some huge long list of points specified to 9 decimal places.
Right now I am building a SVG drawing that needs to take numbers to draw it to scale, I would never be able to do this without building a prototype in a JetBrains editor.
