In something like VScode, the features are categorized in a hierarchy and arranged in layers in the left sidebar in a sensical drill-down pattern. I can never find the features easily because I don't know which pane or tab group it's supposed to be in.

Why is npm a tab bar in the lower left, the actual npm list in a pane above it, git/terminal debugger on the bottom, the code editor in the upper right, the db browser in the upper right sidebar (which isn't even visible by default), the db query itself in a tab mixed with the code editor, the debugger output in the bottom but the button to start it in the top toolbar. Some of the most common patterns (going between the terminal, code editor, debugger, git, npm, and DB browser) requires navigating between like seven different places in no logical arrangement. Though since you mentioned IntelliJ, I find its UI pretty hectic too, a hodgepodge of 90s-style MDI and modern tabs and split panes.

I've heard something about a graphical widget kit that emulates native on Java, but as far as I can tell IntelliJ (and most Java apps I've seen) don't use it. Nothing looks or feels native on any platform. I don't actually mean IntelliJ in particular, but Java having its own UI kit. What's the long-term play that I'm missing?
JETBRAIN PHPSTORM LICENSE
Either they keep Fleet cut down, disadvantaging it in comparisons against VSCode, or they make it full-featured, and cannibalize IntelliJ license renewals. I really don't understand the product strategy here. They're not like Microsoft, where sacrificing some Visual Studio sales can be justified as a way of attracting developers to the broader platform. Their IDEs are cross-platform (though, admittedly, some platforms are more equal than others). VSCode was an effort to reach out to those developers and tell them, "Hey, even if you don't use Windows, even if you've never touched C#, we still have something to offer you." They didn't have anything to offer for developers who weren't already bought into the Windows/.Net stack. I understand why Microsoft came out with VSCode. If they did that, then why would anyone buy IntelliJ? You can either manually trigger plugin sync or enable silent automatic synchronization of your plugins in the background.>If they make it free, they could get a big chunk of the market, especially if they actually provide it with IntelliJ level of autocomplete, refactorings, multicursor support etc. Installed plugin synchronization is handled separately from the rest of the settings. Then click Activate.Īfter your JetBrains account is linked, you should see a new Gears icon which is used to manage Settings synchronization: Then you just need to select Activate new License with JetBrains Account and enter your credentials. Once you have your JetBrains account, you'll need to Log in to IDEA using it. The first thing you need to do is to make sure you have a JetBrains account. On top of that, unlike Settings Repositories, it allows you to also synchronize your installed plugins. It is much more convenient because you don't have to create a Git Repo to store the settings and provide its address to your IDE.

Under the hood, it actually uses a variation of Settings Repository mechanism, but you are shielded from it. It utilizes your JetBrains account to synchronize the data. The second way of settings synchronization was available for some time as a standalone optional IDE plugin (which required an invitation to use), but now is integrated and enabled by default since 2017.3. Synchronize settings using JetBrains Account After all, every user has different preferences. But then, of course, you want some of your setting to be personal and just for you. What is it good for? Well, maybe there are some settings you want to share with your teammates to ensure consistency on your project. To configure multiple repositories go to Settings → Tools → Settings Repository To enable this feature just go to: File → Settings Repository So you can track and rollback the changes if necessary or even allow other people to create Pull Requests with some tweaks to your settings. That means your settings are backed up and under version control. What's nice is that it is a plain old Git repo. In case one instance makes changes in the settings it can be propagated back to the repository. Each IDEA instance then connects to this repository to fetch the settings.

The way it works is that it uses an external Git repository to share the settings. The first way to synchronize settings is using Settings Repositories. Not relevant to the question asked, but possibly helpful in other situations:
