Okay, fine, I don’t disagree. Your complaints are warranted. VSCode is better, Xcode (imo) is worse.

>What killer configuration management feature do JetBrains' products offer that outweighs the aforementioned flaws?

I don’t know your use-case, but I’m sure that their products could support it if you spent a few minutes reading documentation.

Yes, it ain’t JSON, but it’s not “awful” either imo.

FWIW, one neat pattern is binding a nix file for setting up your developer environment with all the tools, scripts, etc. you need. You can even have nix bring in jetbrains products (pinned to a particular version) so the team is all squared away.
