One major advantage of Jetbrains products which I realised after getting a corporate job is I don't need almost any plugins and the experience out of the box is better than anything offered by vim or emacs(granted this is subjective). One major advantage is I don't need to worry about licenses of plugins or having a trust relationship with plugins, which is very essential as I don't want something like the kite episode to happen on my PC. (The kite episode was a company buying some open source plugins for atom and sublime and adding invasive telemetry). If you use jetbrains products, you need to trust only one entity. When using random plugins you are always in the danger of some malicious plugin sending your IP to some random server (rare, but worth keeping in mind.
