I'm not a fan of any IDE brand or company. I'm a fan of features. Any respectable IDE must have the following features: - jump to declaration - autocomplete of fields and methods of an object - autocomplete or tool tips for function arguments - code templates - find all the usages of a variable, type or function - rename variables, function, types etc. all over the code base(and do it correctly not blindly like with sed) - select a piece of code and extract it into a function - select multiple fields and methods and extract them into a separate class - highlight pairs of parentheses, brakets, curly braces and be able to jump between them - highlight searches - show line numbers - search/replace text in current file or over multiple files(aka grep and sed but integrated into the UI) - be able to open a terminal in a pane - search for a type all over the code base - search for a global function or variable all over the code base - display tree of included files(for languages that allow including other source files like C++) - display tree of subtypes/supertypes of a specific type - display a list of all overrides of a method and be able to jump to them - semantic checks(e.g. check that the types of the arguments in a function call match those from the function declaration - of course for languages that have a type system) - display syntax/semantic errors as I type - a file explorer should always be easily accessible - automatically select the current file in the file explorer; be able to turn this behavior on or off - Copy the full path of the current file to clipboard - Copy the name of the current file to clipboard - Autoformat the code - Autoindent - Syntax highlight - debugger integration - build system integration - display an outline tree of the source code ine current file - have a local history of all the changes to a file - version control integration - diff between current and previous version of the current file - search files by name in the entire code base - when many editor tabs/buffers are opened, search through them by file name - spell checking in comments, be able to turn it on/off - generate documentation from comments - fold/unfold code blocks - replace tabs with spaces - show special characters - block editing - place coursor in multple places and perform the same editing changes in multiple places at once(like in sublime) - jump over paragraphs - jump to beginning/end of file - open documentation of function/class/type/etc. under the coursor - set bookmarks in code - have a history of searches and be able to redo older searches - list all TODOs/FIXMEs from all over the code base - split panes vertically/horizontally - textual autocomplete (meaning autocomplete if identifier is already present in current file) - linter integration - UML diagram generation - erase the current line with a single key binding - move current line up/down with a single key binding - display object instance tree - and possibly many others that I just can't remember right now...

Now I don't care if it's vim, emacs, vscode, eclipse or jetbrains offering these features. From experience I learned these features make me most productive...coupled with command line tools it gets even better. So if these features/tools are available in an IDE/tool suite then I'm a happy programmer and I will use them. I don't have time to be a fan of this editor or that editor...even though I do like to enable vim key bindings if they're available once in a while.
