I’ve been using vscode for a few years now and while i find its search amazing, it doesn’t do much more for me. Its syntax highlighting is good, but the auto complete recommendations have been driving me insane recently.

Writing rails api with a nextjs ui, anyone got any suggestions on alternative paths i should take?

This may not apply to you but I find it so weird how many programmers won't invest even a modest amount into software they'll use 8 hours a day every day. Particularly when we'll so easily spend money to upgrade RAM or buy a new PC.

RubyMine on a cancel anytime personal license is $22.90/month (or $229 for a year). That's nothing. I'd say just try it. If you don't like it, you might only be out $23.

I'm not a Ruby person so can't comment on that really. For Java (and C++) it's a lifesaver. Things like moving a file to a different directory and it'll update all your packages and imports. Same with just renaming a class or even a method.

The deep syntactic understanding Jetbrains IDE have of the code base is one of the big reasons I use them.
