Discussion on: IDEA for everything?

I currently have different IDEA IDE's installed for each language that I work in.
I work mostly in Android Studio (also IDEA) and PHPStorm, the others are for contributing to open-source and making PR's.

For me benefit is that for some of these languages I am not very experienced (Ruby, Python, Node) and I might not know what plugins or default settings to use and the IDE will come basically already optimised for that language (maybe some personal preference changes).

I use Jetbrains Toolbox to easily download, update and open my IDE's or projects.
