I hate to work with JetBrain tools. Whatever machine I am using them on, they feel sluggish and bloated. Starting an editor takes ages and often it is unresponsive or you can feel the delay between character appearing on the screen and your key press. Absolutely dreadful.
That being said I still use them, because nothing can quite compare despite these awful flaws.
I also use VS Code but only because there is almost no delay between typing `code .` and having an editor ready to type stuff in. It's perfect for quick "sketches" or if you want to check an odd file here and there, but if you want to work on a larger code base, the experience falls short (e.g. navigation between files, searching)
With that in mind, there is still a big gaping market hole when it comes to IDEs - create an editor with JetBrains feature set plus make it as fast as VS Code or Sublime and you'll be a winner.
One more thing I cannot understand is that literally every editor's search functionality is more or less useless for bigger projects - simple thing like "and" and "or" operators for keywords are yet to be found. Sure some allows you to use regexp, but that is a pain and not how people are used to searching when using e.g. google or github.
