JetBrains won't be able to stay doing free beer forever though, hence why one then only gets proper support for Kotlin/Native on CLion.

JetBrains lost it when they forced developers into subscriptions and later slightly backtracked (i.e. you can use 1 year old version after subscription expires), but still offered a worse deal than they had before. That came with a new CEO and CFO who insisted on "subscriptions are the future" model.

VSCode just filled the void they left wide open. But I suspect Sublime and Atom are the main victims of VSCode.
