Comment on Ask HN: Which editor do you use for JavaScript Development?parent

Comments

Same here. I love having a single IDE that can handle all the languages I use. VSCode is great and I used to use it (with VSCodeVim) a lot, but it just doesn't handle Java or Python nearly as well. I ended up deciding I preferred to stick with one set of IDE/configs/keybinds, so I went with the more powerful option.

I think my impression of VSCode is that it feels more like an editor à la Sublime Text, or at an extreme, a well-configured vim, than an actual IDE. But I want the IDE experience - primarily global refactoring and fast auto-complete. IntelliJ provides that (along with IdeaVim for the improved text editing experience too).
