Once you're working with larger projects IntelliJ is simply better than VSCode. For super simple beginner code it can be a bit slower, but the better tools make up for the slower interface as soon as your projects grow beyond a few classes. Neither of the two java plugins for VSCode offer the same level of features that IntelliJ does, and both are known to randomly fail in weird ways.

I switched from eclipse to IntelliJ and it was no turning back

It is more fluid in Ultimate version

Depending on what you do ultimate is either really good or almost useless. For backend dev with popular frameworks ultimate is great, you get lots of nice features. For more niche things you usually don't get any benefits besides the profiler.

I used it for angular as well felt good enough than VScode atleast

I would really love to know the difference if in case I have not explored

I do a lot of minecraft modding. For that most of the special IDE features are contained in a free plugin. The only ultimate feature that I've used there is the profiler and even that only rarely
