Unless I have to use them indirectly via Android Studio, I prefer to stay on Eclipse or Netbeans land for Java.

Visual Studio is still the best for C++, followed by C++ Builder.

VSCode is the only Electon app that I tolerate on my own computers.

When is InteliJ finally going to support JNI development instead of requiring two IDE licences?






I prefer Java in VS Code, but unfortunately there's no solid option for Kotlin outside of IntelliJ.

One of my two major gripes about Kotlin -- that, and the lack of a standardized style guide and formatting tool so that there's no bikeshedding or difference between repos.


Java in VSCode is either Eclipse or Netbeans running headless, better use the real deal.

Of course that is no Kotlin outside InteliJ, JetBrains even has a blog post on how Kotlin is supposed to help selling more licenses.

By the way, for a little while there were some JetBrains employees doing an Eclipse plugin, but naturally they ramped out that effort.
