I use Jetbrains IDEs now for 5 years, I've used VSCode, Sublime, Atom, Vim, Neovim but I feel like Jetbrains IDEs are just better if you have the RAM to run it.

  1. It's a setting.
  2. Doesn't happen
  3. Doesn't happen
  4. Searchable actions, just search for "encoding" in this case.
  5. That's an LSP/project mismatch usually just a setting. Most things are supported but worst case you can remove the error.
  6. Happens if you run out of RAM or open a very large file.

So it's not all bad, but comes with a lot of good such as "invert if statement", "use template strings" and "extract method" thingies along with a load of plugins.

  1. can also sometimes happen when your workplaces corporate antivirus you can't uninstall, pause, or change any settings on decides to scan your project files while a build is in progress 🤦🤦🤦

Oh, you get the benefit of explicit scanning?

We get the beauty of every file that's modified being scanned before the write "completes". It's an absolute joy starting a build and watching ~80% of the available compute be consumed by antivirus software.

Or, you know, normal filesystem caching as part of your tool's workflow.

Or dependency installing and unpacking....

Or anything actually that touches a lot of files.

Yeah was experiencing that for awhile, a couple of workarounds:

  • run the IDE inside a VM
  • Use windows "dev drive" and got the admins to exclude it from active scanning, but it seems like that setting has been lost recently 😕
