    JetBrains is not representative of every editor / dev. Language servers mean I can use Emacs / Vim / VSCode / whatever else I want and have IDE features for whatever language I want.

      Just as JetBrains is not representative of every dev, neither are LSPs. Some developers want a specialized IDE for their language(s), some want a highly customized editor with their language servers. As long as you efficiently produce code that works, who cares what other people use?

      You can do that if you want to :

      Like many of our IDEs, the functionality of RustRover can be installed as a plugin in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate.

      But if you only care about a particular language/stack you can use the dedicated IDE, it’s cheaper and the UX is optimized for your use case.

        That’s a JetBrains plugin. It is just for JetBrains applications, and it closed source, right? Language servers are basically the metric system of IDEs. I can go from Emacs to Vim to VSCode and just use rust-analyzer for my IDE backend.

        I don’t understand the benefit of using JetBrains specific plugins that only work with JetBrains.

          Because I (and many others) find their products to be far superior to the competition.

            This. I’m using PyCharm with the new UI, and watching my colleagues struggle with VSCode is a bit painful to see. Not saying you can’t be productive with it, but why make your life harder than it needs to be?

      JetBrains users kind of live in their own weird bubble. Of the ones I’ve worked with, a decent number didn’t even know how to use git, they just relied on the built in vcs tools

        Didn’t know how to use git CLI? Who cares. Git CLI is garbage anyway

        Edit: Ruffled some feathers lol. Seriously though, whoever named the functions… I want whatever they’re on lol

      I think there’s something for everyone. Some people want one editor for everything, some want one tailored to their language needs

          Tech has an abundance of people who really need to be right in an argument. I’ve had this same argument with a developer at a client company of mine. Just couldn’t let it go when I said I was comfortable with the Jetbrains suite and used their language specific tooling instead of VSCode.
