VSCode is popular due to the lack of a free alternative with the same feature set.

Jetbrains Fleet is already looking to be a let down, with it being a larger resource hog by VSCode.

Jetbrains justifies the cost for me. I can easily recoup the cost in productivity over VSCode.

If you project is big enough, resource cost is more reasonable. VSCode starts lagging while Jetbrains products can scroll file with 500k lines without problem.
