While your observation is generally true, and I share your overall concern about my IDE of choice, in this specific example it doesn’t apply as the Claude Code plugin for IntelliJ offers exactly the same integration as their plugin for VSCode.
Is your affirmation based on a testing of both plugin? I'm genuily wondering the plugin quality as IntelliJ plugin is still in beta and the VScode one not
I use IntelliJ (WebStorm) as my daily driver, and Claude Code is an integral part of my workflow. I didn’t check VSCode specifically, but I did read the link to that extension - everything they describe is precisely how the Claude Code works within WebStorm (despite being labeled “Beta”)
Appreciate your input, but if you haven’t actually tested the VSCode integration, it’s hard to compare. Reading a feature list isn’t the same as using the tool.
