Did many people move from IntelliJ to VSC? From what I've seen, VSC is mainly used by people who previously haven't used a full IDE.
It's also not clear to me that they're "a jumping on a simple-editor train". Given that with one click you can turn on "fully functional IDE bringing smart completion, refactorings, navigation, debugging, and everything else that you’re used to having in an IDE" I don't think it's actually simple. It's just a quick-to-open IDE where the user in in control of when to pay the extra startup cost for the fancier features.
- davidjytang 5y agoYeah my company canceled JB Toolbox subscriptions because there was no noticeable team productivity gain for using JB after we tested out and compared with vscode for a year. We used CLion and Webstorm. At the time, CLion did not have remote debug but VScode did, which triggered the trial. Switching from webstorm to vscode for webdev was trivial. From our team perspective, using JB didn't produce noticeably faster turnaround or less bug. It was no brainer to forgo the subscriptions and just use VScode. For a while, the only thing affected was developer comfort. But everyone adapted very fast and surprisingly, new members to the team are also most likely familiar with vscode already.
