I really like the JetBrains IDEs, both for Java and .NET, it feels way more pleasant to write code and refactor it than just in something like Visual Studio Code (which still feels better for utility scripts). They have pretty good run profiles that you can put in your repo, pretty good debugger, plenty of suggestions/inspections and customizability.
Java, .NET and languages like that also lend themselves pretty well to tools (and even LLMs) understanding what's going on, their runtimes are pretty good and platform differences don't give you too many issues from what I've seen. Though when it comes to the frameworks or libraries you might use (e.g. how often you will see the likes of Spring Boot in enterprise projects) will definitely leave some performance on the table [1] and have plenty of awkward and confusing situations along the way [2], especially if you're unlucky enough to have to work on codebases that have been around for over a decade. Old Java projects really suck sometimes, though maybe that applies to many of the old projects, regardless of tech.
Overall, I quite like them and am pretty productive, plus I unironically think that using Maven is pleasant enough (even adding custom repos isn't too convoluted [3]) and the modern approach of self contained .jar files that can just be run with a JDK install instead of separately having to manage Tomcat or GlassFish (or TomEE or Payara nowadays, I guess) is a step in the right direction!
Though while I do like packages such as Apache Commons and they're very useful, I also very much enjoy using something like Go more recently, it's easier to get started making simple web apps with it, less ceremony and overhead, more just getting to writing code.
