This is the difference between an opinionated vs non-opinionated IDE
You seem to prefer opinionated, where other people like the fact they can pick and choose from various plugins to my their IDE their own, and if they do not like the default implementation of a feature there likely is another plugin that may work for them.
For example there are a couple of git plugins, all of them act slighty different based on the workflow of the users of that plugin, if MS came in and said "No this is how git workflow is in VSCode and no other way is possible" that would turn off alot of users
Further you stated another glaring problem, Jetbrians mikes IDE's plural, specialized for each lang they are targeting, VSCode needs to work with many lang, there is not a VSCode:Python edition, and VSCode:Powershell edition, etc et c etc
It is just VSCode and plugins add the Languages you need / want support for
- cutler 6y agoI thought that until I realised IntelliJ Ultimate is really IntelliJ + WebStorm + PHPStorm + RubyMine + PyCharm + Goland and with plugins you're covered for most major PLs except C,C++ and C# which require 2 separate IDEs.

- Kipters 6y agoJetBrains has Rider for C#
- jolux 6y agoYeah but you need to pay separately because it’s based on ReSharper, there’s no .NET plug-in for IDEA Ultimate.
- hackbinary 6y agoBut if your buying the full version, then the full library is only another £100 to begin with. Cheaper for personal use, and free for students. https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/buy/#commercial?billing=yearly https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/buy/#commercial?billing=yearl...
- cutler 6y agoThere's also the issue of managing separate apps which I find to be a pain.
- jolux 6y ago"only" another £100? That's a lot of cash.
- hackbinary 6y agoThat depends on perspective. If you are a professional programmer using JetBrains tools as daily drivers then I think think £100 over the InteliJ price is pretty reasonable to get access to their entire library of tools. Consultants make at £400 day here, dotnet devs usually more. If you are a hobbiest, it's cheaper. And the costs decrease each year. If you are saying £100, then it sounds like it would offer you money for value, so it's probably not for you.
