why switch from intellij
Intellij was my most common IDE but I’m so tired of having to be a second citizen for every single plugin. Intellij needs to do a huge platform shift and become more open or be consumed by vscode. The amount of people who start with vscode is insane.
I predominantly use VSCode Insiders because I like testing out arbitrary things and Coming fro intellij I’m used to a lot of crutches for my programming which I’m still not sure are there in VSCode yet.
I like that every config is a json file and everything can be configured back and forth.
It’s still mind blowing to me how responsive the whole app is despite running on a browser. The typing latency feels slightly lower than intellij
Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life. Think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success. ― Swami Vivekananda
