>Finallly, I have never used Visual Studio Code, but I also assume -- at this point -- that it is very good with Java. The speed at which their community has grown is simply breathtaking.

Unfortunately, that's not the case. I tried using VSCode with its Java development extension pack last week and I found that it was nowhere near as polished as, for example, its Python or Typescript extensions, both of which are gold standard. I ended up switching back to IntelliJ.

This is my experience as well, VSCode has been excellent for TypeScript, but it is lacking a lot when it comes to Java. I'm much happier with Eclipse. I'm sure IntelliJ is great too but Eclipse works fine for me and I've never felt the need to drop it.
