My biggest complaint about Java development is the state of LSP/DAP support. I’ve tried writing Java in VS Code, and the support is still very incomplete. There are two features I want the most: (1) automatically downloading source code for dependencies, and (2) pausing all threads when a breakpoint is hit (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-java-debug/issues/722 ).

I can’t find any editor or IDE that comes close to IntelliJ. If we want Java in the terminal, we may also need to think how to write Java in the terminal or are they orthogonal?
