Why IntelliJ is better than VSCode
I've been trying to use VSCode as my main text editor for several months, for Python/Java/JavaScript. But there are important things that VSCode can't do that a dedicated IDE can do with ease. For example, I just got this Java exception when running my code in VSCode:
But will VSCode let me click the line to jump to the code? No it won't unfortunately. IntelliJ will. In fact, IntelliJ will even let me set a breakpoint in the code so I can stop and look around.
And I was really hoping that VSCode could serve my editor needs for any language.

I am inclined to agree on this.
The other thing Intellij manages much better than VS code in my opinion is source control.
However, VSCode has a lot of plugins for code snippets and feels lighter..(does not spend as long indexing, etc.).
Maybe a mix and match is the way forward? I always rely on Intellij for Java projects but use VSCode mainly for JS/React etc.

Yeah I’m still trying to use vs code for everything because it loads faster. But I guess I’ll need to bring out the big guns when needed.
