I do. I've got a plugin to help with remembering to do it and formatting - https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/13389-conventional-comm...

The thing that it really helps doing (when you're using it) is avoiding doing multiple things in one commit. Features and refactors and fixes belong in different commits.

With this I can also look at my git log and quickly see on the places where I changed things (rather than style or refactor or docs or tests). This commit, with a few lines did this - not "this change was part of this much bigger commit."

Thanks for this tip about the plugin; I went looking and there is also an extension for vscode: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vivaxy.v...

Haven't tried it but I will.
