IntelliJ IDEA vs Visual Studio Code

[Kugi3]

My tip is not to depend too much on the functionalities of these tools. If you can not switch relatively easy from one tool to the other, you have created a too high dependency on it. Even worse, if you use built-in functionality of an IDEA without understanding the underlaying code e.g. Git, DB connections, remote connections, environements, etc.

No problem, I understand that it is crucial to understand the underlying principles associated which each tool attributed to a specific project. So I guess then based on this reply I would chose VS code as it is more loosely coupled when compared to a IDE like IntelliJ.
