It’s nice to have options. IntelliJ IDEs may be popular and well-regarded, but they’re not everybody’s cup of tea. As someone who’s spending a lot of time in Android Studio, it’s not unusual for me to become frustrated with it due to various behaviors and bits of UI design that can’t be changed, as well as fancy “smart” functionality that gets in the way almost as often as it helps.

I’m not terribly enthused with VS Code either but I’ll probably give this plugin a try, and since this has a standalone LSP it should be reasonable to write Kotlin plugins for other editors.
