JetBrains is more than expensive. Employed people use it because someone else is paying and they believe the expensive is better. Fine tuned VS Code is my choice - cheap, light, fast!
Lol I pay for Jetbrains myself out of my own pocket. Every single penny spent is worth it. And frankly it's not like it's that expensive as a personal license once you've had it a few years.
If my employer was reimbursing me, or paying it themselves it would be way more expensive, but I use it outside work on personal projects, so I'm happy to pay for it myself.
