IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition + install plugins you need. Done.
The upside of using intellij is that when you get a job you can probably get your work to pay for a license and then you are already used to the tooling.

Re: Ask HN: State of Free IDEs
#12Are you getting full use out of VSCode? The main advantage of VSCode (in my opinion) is the community plugins (Vim Keybindings, Tailwind, etc.). What do you feel is missing from your VSCode setup?
Also it's interesting that you find VSCode slow. At least on Mac, I feel like JetBrains is usually less performant.
