Don't forget that there's Eclipse as well, which I personally still prefer when dealing with Java codebases, although I have somewhat positive experiences using JetBrains IDEs in other languages, particularly Python with PyCharm.
But generally IDEs are almost a necessity for any complex Java codebase. That's markedly different in other languages. I sometimes work on the chromium codebase (C++ mostly) which I use either VSCode or a simple text editor for. When dealing with smaller scripts, whether in Python, Perl or Bash or whatever, I usually stick to whichever simple editor I happen to have accessible. The same is true for some small C codebases I maintain on an irregular basis.
Generally I consider it a rule of thumb that the more refactoring a codebase requires to be kept in a maintainable state, the more you profit from an IDE. And the necessity for complex refactoring grows with the size of the codebase and the number of developers working on it (especially if a lot of them happen to be rather new to the craft).
