I’ve tried VSCode, Sublime, Vim, Eclipse, and IntelliJ for both Java and Python development. I’m more productive with IntelliJ for both (though Python is only more productive if I’m also extensively using type hints). Eclipse was the second best, but it had enough rough spots and slowness than IntelliJ still handily beat it out. The marginal productivity gain is probably in the tens of hours throughout a year, which makes it more than worthwhile for my company to pay the $99 for it. I use Sublime for other coding where it’s fewer files (and Vim for quick text editing in consoles) and I’m quite happy with it as long as I don’t have to do any refactoring. VSCode is too slow for me in comparison and I kept running into bugs with extensions when I tried it a year ago or so.
