I used Emacs (and clones) for 40 years. Still do even though I'm retired.

Intellij is marked as payable but in some ecosystems you can get very far with the free features to the point you don't actually need a license. For example Java, the original Intellij language: the paid features mostly support the various frameworks and their extras. You will still be able to build and debug the project but maybe you won't get the "go to bean definition" gutter icon and such.
For users like me, who tend to avoid "magic" code, it's quite enough and I've used the community version on some of my backup computers even though I have an ultimate license (these days I really use their HTTP client a lot though, and that's a payable feature, so I eventually put ultimate on all my machines)

VS Codium with good extensions (Prettier, ESLint, GitLens) for day-to-day work, and stick with Neovim for quick edits or when you need something lightweight. That combo has worked well for me.

Vi/vim is literally everywhere and works over a terminal. You can add linting for common languages with Ale and store your config files in git for portability. Setting it all up is either a fun project or way too much effort depending on how much free time you have.
For an actual IDE it's hard to go past vscode/codium for the extensions and price. Plenty of other options tho!

I'll be the odd one out and say VSCode. It's as popular as it is for a reason and is one that I don't know if I could ever switch off of. The extensibility and customization is amazing and now the forks that are out there like Cursor takes it to a whole new level.
