I love JB's IDEs, I used IntelliJ when I was doing a lot of Java work many moons ago. They're obviously tailored to the specific langauges, whereas VSCode tries to be a jack-of-all-trades coding editor rather than a full IDE. I'm working on automation coding and most days I can be jumping betwen 5-6 different languages in the space of an hour or two so VSC suits that quite well right now.

I do wish I could justify a JB subscription for personal use as that would be nice to have, there's something "cosy" about how smooth the ride is with a JB IDE! Ha ha!
