IntelliJ Ultimate (for everything)

Same here. I love having a single IDE that can handle all the languages I use. VSCode is great and I used to use it (with VSCodeVim) a lot, but it just doesn't handle Java or Python nearly as well. I ended up deciding I preferred to stick with one set of IDE/configs/keybinds, so I went with the more powerful option.

I think my impression of VSCode is that it feels more like an editor à la Sublime Text, or at an extreme, a well-configured vim, than an actual IDE. But I want the IDE experience - primarily global refactoring and fast auto-complete. IntelliJ provides that (along with IdeaVim for the improved text editing experience too).

Google Docs, because, according to the Google interview process, that makes some sort of sense.

mapped my workspace so I can work directly within the chrome debugger. not the most petty way but it's darn effective since all objects and data are laid before my eyes and can be inspected and manipulated without braking context

VSCode with the vimstyle extension. Sometimes I turn off vimstyle because it conflicts with my existing keyboard shortcuts. Still a learning process, + I've started using the ultimate hacking keyboard and its arrow keys are mapped to I for up ( which is INSERT MODE in vim ), and j/l for over ( vim uses h/l ), and K for down ( vim uses K for UP ), so there is a HUGE learning curve to use both vim + vscode shortcuts + uhk. But it's getting a lot easier with practice.
