I 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 am a big fan of Intellij. But the single most feature I hate about their products is keyboard shortcuts. If they follow standard unix shortcuts along with standard browser shortcuts, it will be more productive.

Jetbrains 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.
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.
I 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.

If you are a student or faculty, you can use their products for free - https://www.jetbrains.com/student/
If 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). 0: https://www.jetbrains.com/student/
I would assume so as well. It sounds negative though, but I'm quite okay with this particular one.
I think this is different from student offerings where there is some sort of lock-in. Microsoft makes sure every student can try Microsoft Windows Server and Microsoft Office and get used to how it works, but with an editor from a company that just makes editors and doesn't want to tie you into their ecosystem, I think it's fine.
