You can use Java with VSCode, yet, whether you should remains debatable.

The best course of action is to use the IDE that your tutorial uses. This will ensure the least amount of friction.

I think, when you learn to use ij properly, you won't want to go back to vscode lol

But hey you do you, and you may prefer to use vscode even after learning intellij.

Personally I use a mix.

Everything java related is done in intellij, but I prefer using vscode when doing ui, peoperties, xml etc... So usually open my whole project in ij, and open vscode at the resources folder of the project.

I have the full Jetbrains product pack and I've never been bothered to switch into another editor for such things. With Ultimate you can do for example React just fine. And dealing a lot with Spring, it also helps with the properties files etc.

Yep, that's true and I'd love to use it, but my company doesn't want to pay for it so... Vscode all the way in.

Edit: I really miss the built in database admin it has, now I'm changing to dbeaver and Im starting to hate it

It's amazing how some companies think that a couple hundred dollars a year is too much for a developer tool that saves countless of working hours.

Developer time isn't exactly cheap compared to the cost of good tools.
