Their tools are fantastic and worth the $$ and having worked in the profession for 25 years I have little patience for the variety of elitism I often encounter on jobs that goes along the line of: "I just use vim and (by implication) so should you."
JetBrains has always had issues with performance and slightly clunky UI. But in return there's just a pile of amazing refactoring and analysis tools that nobody else offers.
I pay for tools that make my job easier so I can concentrate on delivering. Working without RustRover or CLion is just unpleasant.
I have an emacs + LSP + Rustic etc configuration which does about 80% of what I can do with RustRover. But it's brittle, slow, and takes work to maintain. VSCode suffers from similar problems (not slow, but brittle and ergonomics are worse).
