As far as I can tell, they’re all InteliJ underneath anyway.

They are, mostly. I think Rider is the one that you can’t simply use intellij for. Other than that, it’s mostly just convenience features and debugging. Eg intellij doesn’t debug Rust, but Clion does.

It does with a plugin, but there are other tools that I think are not available for IntelliJ

Yep. AppCode and Rider aside, the functionality of all other JetBrains IDEs can be replicated with IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. I have to say that I still like the language-specific IDEs though because they are a lot less bloated and the default configuration fits a lot better.

RIP AppCode you are missed 😔
