frustration is understandable but intellj is also used for complex projects and for those it does a best job in my view (you certainly won't like other java IDEs 😂), though there is lite mode which you can start from terminal. Lite mode does not work for me as I have installed idea using snap.

I would suggest to just google these problems and watch any Intellij tutorial on YT, also intellij has plugin which helps beginners to learn IDE features. In long run it will help you.

Otherwise, VS code is not bad you can still do most of the work by using plugins.
