Some might argue that most software ends up "testing someone's code for free" because many products do end up leaving QA with bugs.

There's a lot to like about JetBrains. Their IDEs are good. I've use a few of them for Java, .Net and Kotlin and they don't suck. I used Visual Studio since version 6, but in earnest since 2003 and it has steadily decreased in quality over time. I feel like I am constantly testing their IDE for them. At least now with IDEs like Rider, I get something that is better than VS2022 in most ways and is easy to test the new release candidate of prior to it being an actual release. The IDE and eco system really works for me and the IDE also works the same on Windows as it does on a Mac so it is less jarring to change platforms. Vs Mac was a whole other level of pain and really, really was not good ever.
