I was recently introduced to NetBeans because it's what we'll be using in our Java class. However, I've been using VSCode for a while and I'm a bit confused. Can I turn VSCode into a Java IDE just by installing the necessary extensions, or is it just a code editor and I'd be better off sticking with an IDE specific to each language?

You can definitely use VSCode for Java! It's quite flexible and works well with many programming languages. NetBeans is great too, but I'm personally a fan of Neovim these days. Lots of options out there!
Do you work professionally with these tools? I'm curious why people choose different IDEs. Also, do you switch between IDEs for different languages?
