I don't use an IDE, I use Sublime Text. Why? Because I work with JavaScript, Ruby and to a degree with Python and Bash if I have to. All scripting. I find most IDEs make my life harder. I've used Eclipse for Ruby, JavaScript, Android and (way back) PHP and it was OK. I've worked with XCode when I needed to do iOS stuff. I've used IntelliJ and Android Studio and when I do Android (seldom) I still use it. I've even tried to get myself to JUST use IntelliJ IDEs for everything since they support just about everything I do but I devolve back to Sublime quickly. Right now I am sort of transitioning to Visual Studio Code since it has a few more IDE like features without me giving up on the a lighter dev env that I can just call from the terminal. So VS Code might be it for me. Whatever you use, the transition from one tool to the other is really uncomfortable (it is why I stuck with eclipse about 10 years ago and why I haven't fully transitioned to VSCode even though I've been using it for a year now) and I would guess that is what keeps most people using whatever they are using.
