I am not against nice tools even if one has to pay for it, If your work pays you well one must invest some to get the best tools out there, just as a beginner or a student though, like me it is better to explore free and good open source software.
In my experience, the most productive editor I've used hasn't been IDE's, which usually are laggy, nor even JetBrain's products. I haven't yet found an alternative which can compare to the raw power of my customized neovim, which has all the functionality of an IDE, all the speed of a terminal CLI, and the intuition learned over years of use.
If you can afford a few cups of coffee a month, you can as well pay a monthly subscription for an IDE such as webstorm. In my country is 2 cups of coffee...
Sure OSS alternative are free. But if you take into account an amount of time IDE is saving you, you will understand that you receive much more in return. Especially when you do a refactor of a project with lots of files.
Yeah they are all good but I believe in free opensource software rather than investing in proprietary software.
IntelliJ has a free community version.
I prefer to choose the best tool available for the job.
And since an IDE is a tool which allows you to accomplish more in less time. I would better prefer to value my time and effort over free software.

Yes once you get used to one and can use it to its full potential it simply works, no need to think about other tools.
All one has to do is find the one that works best for them.

I agree, paying a small amount for efficiency when that job is paying is you is not bad. Since I am student now I chose to go for OSS.
IDEA C is free and open-source, though. github.com/JetBrains/intellij-comm...
Yes.
