That's great that you get to choose your own libraries. I'd wager most people that are using IntelliJ (or any IDE) also don't often have much of a choice in libraries they're using.
IDEs never seemed to appeal to me when I was writing 100% of my own code. When I migrated to using more and more OPC (other peoples' code), whether project legacy stuff, or third party libraries, the ability to more quickly scan/jump/drill into that OPC, the more value I realized from various IDEs. Mostly JetBrains these days (interested in pairing with folks with their newish 'code with me' plugin/service), but vscode and eclipse make their way in to my life for small periods now and then.
