...but I hate that you can practically only use it with IntelliJ. Trying to use it with just Gradle and vscode is such a pain and maybe even impossible to get anything more than basic syntax highlighting. That is all.

I don't have a problem with people paying for the tools they use. I also "pay" for Neovim in the senst that I donate regularly to the project. My grievance is with the way Jetbrains markets Kotlin as "Open Source" with an "Open Community" when in reality they are blocking access to anyone trying to make it work more smoothly with tools that are not Jetbrains endorsed. That, in my opinion, is openwashing as we have seen for decades from companies trying to act in bad faith, like Microsoft or VMWare.
