    Maybe I just have a shitty computer, but I feel like as good as intelliJ is, it’s very slow compared to VScode. And fuck me if I’m trying to do anything in Android Studio.

      It is slower. It’s a fully fledged IDE, VSCode is not so it will always be way faster, but that’s again this meme, JetBrains IDE’s are super powerful so I guess you can say what it lacks in speed it got in power. It’s also written in Java so it’s memory heavy, but it is what it is.

      I use both and I enjoy both. I would never however use JetBrains to open and edit a single file, its way to slow for that.

        I use Visual Studio Code when I need to edit one files or two. JetBrains IDE when I’m starting a programming session.
