Neither does VSCode. They are extensions, which are analogous to plugins in the JetBrains ecosystem. Although, it seems like there used to be way more plugin authors for language support pre-vscode/atom/sublime-text.

You can use the JetBrains launcher to switch between projects in another JetBrains IDE though. Also, I think you can do single window mode in Ultimate to do a lot.

I can combine every possible language on earth that has LSP in one VSCode instance. You can’t do that in IntelliJ.

a)

> The integration with the Language Server Protocol is created as an extension to the commercial IntelliJ-based IDEs. Therefore, plugins using Language Server integration are not available in JetBrains products like IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition and Android Studio from Google.

b) I thought IntelliJ code analysis is so much more superior? If you’re using LSP, what’s the point of IntelliJ anyway? Sluggish ui?

It's so that you can do the "all languages in one IDE" thing you just described by using the LSP for languages IntelliJ Ultimate doesn't support. The experience will be more or less identical to VSCode for LSP languages, but for those supported by IntelliJ, it'll be better.
