I am wondering a bit what is meant here by “disruption”. As I see the situation, some people seem to believe that as professionals we don’t necessarily have to use “the best tools available” and if you can save a little by getting “almost as good (after some tinkering)” it’s more than acceptable. My view is that if “a real IDE” (I use quotes as this is subjective and said in a bit of a tongue-in-cheek manner) gives you even 3% performance boost, it’s well worth paying 100 euro per year especially if you are making tens of thousands using it. Overall though this “IDEA vs VS Code” situation is interesting because it reveals something about cultural situation in the developers’ community.
