OK, but (for example) my experience is that I only experience this as a problem with PyCharm — it literally becomes unusable; VSCode (say) is fine.
Depends on the plugin that gets activated. Jest can bring it to its knees.

My biggest complaint is that Shift+V and selecting lines will sometimes jump to completely random spots in my file. It makes it unusuable sometimes.
in what Jetbrains product? I use Visual Lines all the time in webstorm, rider, and clion for multiple purposes possibly some other keybinding is getting accidently triggered somehow..
I find this post along with the comments in "A Picture of Java in 2020" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24551390 to be incongruous with my experience as a professional developer. My first couple of years writing software I used Vim, then VSCode, then worked in a Java shop and was forced to use IntelliJ. I didn't like it at first, but now after a couple of years I cannot see how I lived without it. The idea that…
The IntelliJ story ends when they ask $300 a year, with no other option.
1. Use the Community edition for free, which does lack enterprise features but includes everything intellij makes so nice, or
2. Buy a version and just use it indefinitely without upgrading and ever paying again?

I was a huge sublime fan, but it seems like the plugin eco-system moved on. At the end of the day, I go where the plugins are.
(Not a sublime fanboy or anything, just curious) What kind of plugins do you use that aren't on sublime? I was reluctant earlier for the same reason, but after I installed sublime-lsp I didn't think I needed much more.
I guess LSP could do Dart which is the most critical aspect.
Though I still need remote development which is non-trivial...
I completely switched to VS Code once I discovered the remote development feature [0]. It allows you to run VS Code locally but work on a project in a different environment (via SSH, Docker, WSL). The integration is seamless - search, debugger, terminal, extensions - everything looks and behaves as if it was running locally but is delegated to the configured remote. You can even have different remotes opened at the s…
The only thing that's been preventing me from fully adopting this is that I don't have my local shell environment (autocomplete, syntax highlighting, etc.) anymore. Maybe I'll have to look at getting that setup in a container sometime, and then copy that over to every container I use.

Compared to jet brains though? Id argue its a huge improvement.
Comparison of what exactly? JetBrains' IDEs have built-in update managers. They present you each plugin, giving you a tick-box of which ones to update. The Toolbox app manages the IDEs, allowing to update automatically or not, install pre-releases, and roll back. It's polished. The IDEs use the established desktop UI norms of toolbar menus. They come with pre-defined 'Run' templates for many languages/frameworks. The…

But if your buying the full version, then the full library is only another £100 to begin with. Cheaper for personal use, and free for students. https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/buy/#commercial?billing=yearl...
"only" another £100? That's a lot of cash.
Consultants make at £400 day here, dotnet devs usually more.
If you are a hobbiest, it's cheaper.
And the costs decrease each year.
If you are saying £100, then it sounds like it would offer you money for value, so it's probably not for you.

Like the options to 1. Use the Community edition for free, which does lack enterprise features but includes everything intellij makes so nice, or 2. Buy a version and just use it indefinitely without upgrading and ever paying again?
