#2They clearly are the state of the art of IDEs for most mainstream languages nowadays.
It's easy for young developers to overlook the power of intellij IDES, and to use the "sexier" vscode. But clearly for any medium to large project, learning to master intellijs are one of the highest ROI that a developer can get.
Of course, it should be mixed with ideaVim.

#3If you're wondering, the "6M users / 405k customers" comes from the Community editions of PyCharm and IntellJ (maybe also Android Studio) and their free-for-students offer[0] ( which I would imagine is a big part of getting companies who hire college grads to license JB products).

I'd go so far as to say Intellij and eclipse are one of the biggest reasons for Java and python's success. Those two languages came about during an IDE revolution and it made them so much more accessible.

#5Jetbrains products are awesome though. I used to use a heavily customized vim which was a pretty good setup, but the things a jetbrains ide can do are just much better than what my custom setup could do. I pay for a personal subscription and couldn't be happier. I will recommend everyone to atleast give their products a try. They have a free trial period.

#6I love jet brains but I'll say this. Their software is part of the reason I paid for 32 GB of ram on my new macbook pro.

I'm also a big of of their products, and pay for a persnal subscription for Rider, ReSharper, DotMemory, DotTrace and DotCover. Rider is absolutely stuffed with features, and is way more stable and performant than Visual Studio.
I also like the way your renewal gets cheaper every year, as a kind of loyalty bonus.
I honestly had no idea they were making so much revenue - very pleased to see it though!

#8I badly want to use intellij for Rust and other languages. But the issue I smash up against is that years of Vscode + my customizations has made using any other editor terribly clunky.
I can spend hours customizing the controls and UI but I still feel like someone handed me the keys to some old car made in a country that doesn't exist anymore.
This in part revealed to me the cost associated with all the editor customizations I make. Default settings are nice that way.

Oh boy. This is how I feel any time I touch a coworker's computer to try and peer program or help them out. I have so many shortcuts (Keyboard Maestro), workflows (Alfred 3), keybinding changes (Karabiner), and utility programs (Amethyst, Spectacle) on top of this IDE thing (I use intelliJ and coworkers use VSCode) that I immediately press a bunch of keys (out of muscle memory) and invariably something completely unexpected happens. It's super frustrating - but I doubt anything can be done about it other than sticking to my machine.

I recently went ahead and purchased theyr3 full product line, because I figured there are several I would end up wanting to use and it was just cheaper that way. The reason I bought it though, was specifically for CLion. I figured having a full featured IDE would make it much easier to browse and understand large C or C++ projects, but sadly it seems to only support CMake projects.
