Description

I'm opening this issue to discuss whether we should continue to hide the debugger when launching devtools from an IDE.

Right now, we hide the debugger when launching from VSCode but we do not when launching from IntelliJ (see [commit](https://github.com/flutter/flutter-intellij/commit/4b7eb64e7c898d0cf3eff05c86cfe8109ec7e634#diff-a9425abf8ffd115610e449365fe5a6e2L233)).

We have a [feature request](https://github.com/flutter/devtools/issues/490) to not hide the debugger when launching from VSCode.

Briefly discussed this with @devoncarew this morning, and I'll let him add his thoughts here.
