We just have the ultimate license and can use all of the intellij IDEs, but you also can do everything with IDEA and some plugins. And I'm that car you still have the experience of a real IDE and not just a code editor.
Lol "real IDE". Name the actual day to day feature(s) that makes it "real". Just saying "you use a little bitch IDE, i use a real IDE" is not an argument.
Much better integrated refactoring support. Much better source code integration support. Much better integrated debugging support. Much better integrated assistive (but not ai) support.
Vscode can do many things IntelliJ can, but not all, and many of them require fiddling with plugins.
Usually, JB is also faster (if your dev machine can run it, but in my experience most devs have beefy machines).
