If a tool works for them, then it works. I don’t think that’s a lack of understanding on their part.

If the opposing view is « clearly VSCode is objectively the only choice », then I think that camp has a distinct lack of understanding that people’s needs are diverse and no 1 tool solves every problem for all people.

I am not opposed to the paid versions of JetBrains IDEs. I think it's a great offering. I am just saying that the free versions of JetBrains IDEs are not competitive with VSCode. JetBrains has intentionally withheld the plugins. JetBrains also has a bad habit of introducing free plugins, but then taking them away. The features I noted are major modern features that not all older developers have come to appreciate yet.

I think it’s just how you’re framing it. It sounds like you’re saying that people using Jetbrains free IDEs are somehow just missing some objective truth you are aware of.

If someone prefers Pycharm CE, it’s quite condescending to say « they just don’t understand ». Different strokes for different folks?

Nope. Using PyCharm CE without container integration is like driving without seatbelts; it's a substantial security hazard because there is no filesystem isolation whatsoever with PyCharm CE. You get that for free in VSCode. Now if you still argue that seatbelts aren't for everyone, then you are living in the past.
