These days I am mostly using VsCode for development and TablePlus/Postico for database development.
If you happen to try it out again, I recommend setting the heap size to at least 4GB and removing the obsolete GC setting (defaulting to the G1 collector) or even better, changing to ZGC. Hopefully they will fix it in a newer version soon.
Yeah, every time i've tried CLion or Rider, the heap reaches its maximum size (4-8gb) like 10-20 minutes after starting the editor and then it becomes extremely slow and sluggish. My cpu goes crazy any time i start an analysis or any sort of task. I've tried to disable on the fly analysis, plugins and whatever i could find that i don't always need to be enabled, but it's barely better.
On the other hand, I've used Intellij for years and it's never been that bad. It has much lower cpu/ram consumption even while having almost everything enabled. I've used the same configuration for years though, so it's possible that at some point I disabled whatever causes such resource usage and completely forgot about it. Or maybe the editors are actually different, though from my understanding they all share the same core.

Please qualify the difference in speed between JetBrains and VS Code. From my perspective, they are both “super slow” and “resource hogs”.
