Each to their own, but ever since I tried WebStorm I've been hooked on all JetBrains IDEs and will never go back to VSCode. The most valuable features for me is the extremely good refactoring tooling built in to all JB products, as well as very helpful and educative prompts that guide you to use best practices in your code.

I feel like I'm a professional software dev using JetBrains products, while I feel like I'm back to "learning to code" mode with VSCode.

The biggest downside of JB IDEs is they can be very memory intensive. If you don't have a powerful laptop it can get quite laggy.
