That's a JetBrains plugin. It is just for JetBrains applications, and it closed source, right? Language servers are basically the metric system of IDEs. I can go from Emacs to Vim to VSCode and just use rust-analyzer for my IDE backend.

I don't understand the benefit of using JetBrains specific plugins that only work with JetBrains.

Because I (and many others) find their products to be far superior to the competition.

This. I'm using PyCharm with the new UI, and watching my colleagues struggle with VSCode is a bit painful to see. Not saying you can't be productive with it, but why make your life harder than it needs to be?

Same here but with WebStorm.
