Jetbrains is known for their code analysis tools that help you code fast, but so far I've honestly been enjoying the simplistic approach that VS Code offers. If you are doing any production Kotlin work, I agree that the IDE would be valuable, but it seems superfluous for simply trying to learn the syntax and language features. VS Code can do a lot of the code completion stuff.

As I get further into Kotlin maybe I'll do a post about the advantages/disadvantages of using the IDE over using VS Code! Thanks for the idea 👍🏻
