I share the sentiment with IntelliJ and I'll never understand the crackheads who use VSCode/Sublime/Atom for strongly-typed languages instead of a proper IDE like Netbeans/IntelliJ/VS.

It's absolute pain to write Rust/Java/C++ in any of those. No safe refactorings (moving classes? good luck), completely random code completion, 0 awares of available libs/SDKs, and so on.

It would seem that most of the developers have no clue what's the difference between a lightweight editor and a full-featured IDE. I think it's just Dunning–Kruger effect on a scale.

I understand that I'll be voted down into oblivion but it really rubs me the wrong way when people confuse some kind of server/application server (???) integrations with an IDE that can offer sophisticated refactorings, a proper type inference, and can infer which functions from which lib/SDK I am using.
