I agree, I'm a long term IntelliJ polyglot, and I watch people in pair programming or video call refactor in VSCode and I feel sorry for them. Stuff goes sideways badly with dynamic languages, worse, they don't have a grip on it.
Simple stuff like code formatting and structure of files isn't well respected by vscoders <I find>.
IntelliJ got a bad wrap I guess because it all started with Java. I'm glad I had a short gig in Java to discover IntelliJ back then. I really think their software, although getting quite complex now, and the plugins can be a little sketch, is the best IDE out there <unless you're a vim nerd who swears by vim and will die on a sword for it>.
- willtemperley 6y agoThe almost perfect Vim support is why I pay for JetBrains’ AppCode over xCode. Second I simply don’t think I’d be able to code both Java and Swift without having a similar workflow between IDEs. To me the development experience makes the difference between loving or hating the work.
