It's been almost two years since I last used VS Code for Java development. It might be time to give it a try again 🤔
Have you used VS Code for Java lately? How is it?

It’s meant to be more fully featured than the MS pack. It has refactoring tools, too.
It’s just a little slow & sometimes buggy with code updates, leaves a few text artefacts, I need to swap to another file & back sometimes.
BUT if you are developing a Swing app, I won't recommand it. I've been looking for an extension that would turn VS Code to a Netbeans-like window editor but never found any. As I am currently working on a full jsf app, not an issue for me 😊
IntelliJ IDEA does not offer official support for MyBatis.
I have only made class name changes, class movements between packages, among others.
In Java a lot of this can be straight forward but in other languages things like moving selected code in to a new method/function or moving multiple exports in to a new file can be hit or miss.
But then again, VS Code has good sides too: more advanced GH Copilot, compile on save, etc.
Let's see how it feels.
