tried doing some PHP work on it, it is very light weight & actually good. i tried moving around a few dockable windows and it almost looks and feels like intelliJ. it isn't as polished as intelliJ but it is slowly getting there.
on a side note, I have also noticed that a lot of programming language communities are likely taken over by intelliJ staff, your post gets shadow banned if you mention other IDEs.
If HN or some other forum is secretly infiltrated by Jetbrains staff, and they shadowban people mentioning other IDE's... then why does PyCharm seem like the #2 option (behind VS Code) in the Python community, and why does WebStorm seem even further behind in the Javascript and web dev world?
It just happens that IntelliJ is the market share leader for Java IDE's, followed by Eclipse (whose users trend older and corporate and less like to be active on forums at all). Developers are precious and toxic when it comes to their editor or IDE preferences, and often tend to downvote others.

Must everything be a conspiracy theory now?

It really is as simple and non-paranoid as that.
