Their tools are fantastic and worth the $$ and having worked in the profession for 25 years I have little patience for the variety of elitism I often encounter on jobs that goes along the line of: "I just use vim and (by implication) so should you."

JetBrains has always had issues with performance and slightly clunky UI. But in return there's just a pile of amazing refactoring and analysis tools that nobody else offers.

I pay for tools that make my job easier so I can concentrate on delivering. Working without RustRover or CLion is just unpleasant.

I have an emacs + LSP + Rustic etc configuration which does about 80% of what I can do with RustRover. But it's brittle, slow, and takes work to maintain. VSCode suffers from similar problems (not slow, but brittle and ergonomics are worse).

This always felt to me like an old-school woodworker saying you can do a large project with hand tools.
