Totally agree now that i'm old, but:

> I know how to write code in vi but I'd still rather write code in jetbrains

I hard pass on that, Jetbrains is probably the slowest IDE i have ever used. Probably great if your PC is a war machine, mine usually aren't (company provided ones, and my laptops).

I'd rather code with an old vi with minimal plugin and color support than with Jetbrains. I was highly critical of Netbeans thanks to similar slowness issues when i used it for the first time 11 years ago (it was with a VERY large codebase), but Jetbrains is the worst. And this slowness triggers me too much to do anything.
