Jetbrains is paid and has probably a larger team behind it. Building those cross platform desktop apps is the business model of their company. Of course they should pick something else than electron. They hire developers that will have the java skills needed to build it. I wouldn't say that emacs is a shining exemple of desktop UI. Everything is based on text buffers and keyboard commands. I don't see this type of application getting the same scale of adoption as vscode or slack (and this comes someone who has used emacs as an editor for python and org mode files for 3 years).
