Sometimes good enough defaults are really good enough.
There definitely was a time in my career (admittedly before VSCode and some of the other cool new kids on the editor block even existed) where I obsessed over vim plugins and macros and themes - but these days I love that consistent out of the box experience, too. Plus the IDEA has DataGrip embedded, and I love having a good database client right alongside the code I'm looking at.
As I've gotten older my whole philosophy with tech has shifted towards not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, editors/IDEs included.
