I had the same experience, used Visual Studio for C++, and years after C#, and Eclipse for Java projects. When JetBrains came along it really shined.

I tried VS Code a couple of years ago for a few months for some scripting languages, it really is not bad, however JB IDEs are better for Java, Python, Ruby,.. even for frontend development - support for Angular and React is great.

I bought the "all products pack" for individuals - it something like 15 bucks per month - for me it would be silly not to use it.

Recently spent a few months going deep on React development and I concur. The support for it was just magical.

This is a decent investment for coders. Good tools make all the difference.

Also proper tools make all the difference. There’s a lot of pro IDE talk in this thread now but text editors exist for a reason
