VS Code vs JetBrains IDEs

VS Code is a universal editor that supports virtually all languages through extensions—completely free and fast to start. JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ/PyCharm/WebStorm) are purpose-built for specific languages with deeper code analysis, but require a subscription ($249/year) and use more memory. For JavaScript/TypeScript/Python, VS Code with the right extensions matches JetBrains quality. Students can get JetBrains free to compare.
