I use Sublime Text, but I’ve also used VSCode, as well as a lot of other similar editors. I haven’t had a reason to use IntelliJ, but I’m sure it would work the same way. Using development tools as a flatpak is usually not a good idea for many reasons. That’s why Silverblue ships with Toolbox (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/toolbox/ https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/toolb...). Flatpaks are kind of like Android APKs, except unlike Android, there’s actually an operating system worth interacting with. An IDE on Android usually needs to include all of the tools it needs. A flatpak is the same, except that’s hard to get right for every development setup, so a toolbox just lets you do whatever you want with it. They’re podman containers with extra features to integrate with the host. I have all of my development tools installed in a single toolbox, and have .desktop files for the GUI ones so that I can launch them from the KDE app menu as if they were regular apps. With this setup I can use e.g. clangd with the LSP plugin in Sublime Text, execute CMake, use the embedded terminal (Terminus), or the debugger plugin with lldb.
