Couldn’t be further from Enterprise luckily, but it leaves me wondering if I’m missing the forest for the trees?

Maybe it’s just a difference in working style. I would feel exhausted by having to learn and maintain a bunch of tools instead of just one, sprinkled with occasional anxiety if there is a better or upstart competing tool that I should be using.

It’s most likely about different ecosystems. JetBrains provides excellent support for many programming ecosystems, but if yours isn’t supported, you don’t have much choice. I was an avid JetBrains user until I needed to work with Elixir. You simply can’t do Elixir in their IDEs. So I switched to VS Code. After more than a year of using VS Code, you develop muscle memory for it. At this point, I don’t really care about the differences anymore and I’m happy with VS Code.

I don't think youre missing out necessarily. I would riot if i couldn't use Pycharm anymore, for big python projects just nothing beats it right now.

I do use VSCode too, but mostly for quick scripting or non-programming projects. and even then i installed a bunch of extensions to make it more like Pycharm.
