I rely on both IDEs because each has its own strengths:

Using both allows me to:

  1. Generate code with AI in VS Code + Cline. The plugged MCPs are:
    1. Figma MCP
    2. GitHub MCP (personally-tuned for parallel works)
    3. Atlassian MCP
  2. Switch to GoLand or PyCharm for deep debugging or large-scale refactoring.

As a big fan of JetBrains, I’d love to see them strengthen their AI offerings—so that, like VS Code, you get powerful AI features immediately with a quick setup.
