For Java development, I struggled with every IDE other than IntelliJ. It just seems to get more things right and can ingest and work with things like Gradle vs Maven, Spring Boot, decompiling 3rd party jars for debugging if you don't have the source, running a Windows UI driving a project that's inside WSL, etc. It's expensive, but worth it enough that I've paid for it when a company would not.
