Hello! I want to write Kotlin for something to keep my brain busy during my spare time. I am aware of IntelliJ, but I would like to avoid it due to telemetry and a general distrust of JetBrains (I downloaded IntelliJ back when I had windows and after i deleted it i found a "JetBrains" or "IntelliJ" folder in a new spot in my computer once a week). IntelliJ community is open source, so is there any telemetry-free forks a la LibreWolf? If not, what do you reccomend for writing Kotlin code? Thank you comrades!

    I hate to say it, but JetBrains' tools are awesome for Kotlin and Java, so my pick personally is IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition. Nothing really beats it no matter how many plugins or extensions you install to your text editor. If you're used to Vim keybindings, there is a plugin for them so you don't have to re-learn everything.
