For jvm stuff definitley yes. For other things I often prefer VS Code.

Man I use IntelliJ for:

  • python
  • Jupyter notebooks
  • node, typescript
  • html
  • YAML/TOML
  • sql
  • testing
  • ReST
  • Docker
  • bash
  • cloud formation
  • terraform
  • lua
  • groovy, kotlin, and also java
  • maven, gradle, spock
  • linting, code formatting, dependency management, db connectors & browsing, live templates, refactoring, code analysis, fantastic git operations, local history, testing, etc

Support for most of this stuff is just built in, and a few plugs for the rest. In-line embedded sql execution, best git merge tools, everything has customizable key commands… it goes on and on. The amount of config and plugs this requires in other tools is insane.
