Jetbrains seems to want to lose customers. But besides VSCode, which other proper IDEs exist. Eclipse is a joke, Netbeans is basically dead, VSCodium and other forks are Electron beasts,... There are a bunch of editors out there cosplaying as IDEs, but let's be honest, they are nowhere near as good as proper IDEs, nor as easy to use.
nvim users spend decades and have terrabytes of plugins, helix has no plugin system, emacs is hand cancer, and Kate is a great editor, but no IDE. It feels like the Chrome and Firefox situation, unfortunately.
I know someone will say Zed, but isn't that Mac first? Linux users probably come last, so also not a great option.
