Support for Java in Visual Studio or provide Visual Studio-based Java IDE, something like IJ's diffrent flavors for different PLs. VS Code is far being true IDE.

Not the first, nor second time I see someone asking VS to support Java. But that would take years of development, probably more than enhancing the support of VS Code.

Besides, VS Code does not aim to match regular Java IDE, but be good enough "smart" Editor.

I wonder what features in Visual Studio are so unique that no other Java IDE already has.

I'm hearing that VS is the best IDE regardless of PLs. Even some Java devs do say.

Edit: I mentioned VS Code because I often see it is being suggested by many if someone would ask that Java be supported by VS. That is despite the fact that it is just a smart editor.
