I think polyglot IDEs like VSCode serve a different niche to PyCharm, CLion etc. In a professional context, you usually end up doing 80% of your coding in one language, so it only makes sense to use an editor that semantically understands the language to amplify your coding. One common use case where I resort to IntelliJ tools is refactoring methods/classes/variables, since it feels so much safer. My personal take is that IntelliJ stands to gain a lot of developer goodwill and gets the proverbial foot in the door by putting Fleet at the forefront. I mean, even if a lot of licenses get cannibalized, they could always resort to selling user data. I don't think IntelliJ is that sort of company though, they seem pretty ethical from what I know about them.

Another consequence of that point is that VSCode is this editor if your main language is TypeScript. At work we use VSCode for JS/TS, and Visual Studio for C#/C++ on Windows.

Fleet will likely become part of the "All Products Pack" which at this point costs $149 annually pre-tax (personal license), with special add-on integrations for several targeted cloud environments being rental add-ons. The personal license All-Products-Pack is great. I'm prevented by the license from ever expensing it but I spend every day immersed in PyCharm, IntelliJ IDEA, DataGrip, and soon GoLand. I can open as many simultaneous copies as I need on personal and work computers, Windows, macOS, and Linux.

  Given what developers are paid, I’m perfectly happy to pay for it myself to save myself the hassle of dealing with procurement.
