> Maybe this is just a question of taste but I never could get along with Javas (or Kotlin's) tooling

Are you joking? IntelliJ is without a doubt the best dev tooling environment available.

No, I'm not. Through university (and even before) I have access to their full suite. I have tried to use PyCharm, GoLand and Idea.

Idea was useful for Java but felt quite slow and even with vim bindings was a pain to navigate. Learning the shortcuts helped but it never got quite as fast as helix/vim for general editing (especially as my work usually is a polyglot). It might be the best for Java (compared to eclipse or bluej) but that does not mean it fits my workflow/way of work.

PyCharm/GoLand both are "nice" but it did not feel better/more efficient than pylance/pyright)/gopls + vscode/helix. The only I still occasionally use is DataStorm as it is quite a nice SQLite/PostgreSQL client.

edit: fixed typo from gostorm -> goland
