Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Due to certain policy constraints beyond our control, we cannot run IntelliJ in our company. We have been very impressed with Gitpod as a whole however. We'd like the ability to disable IntelliJ in the config so our users can continue to use the other IDEs such as VS Code.
Describe the behaviour you'd like
A flag in the helm chart which disables IntelliJ for users. It might also be worth including flags to disable the other IDEs
Describe alternatives you've considered
We thought about deliberately tweaking some of the IntelliJ config in the helm chart to break it, but this feels inelegant and prone to other errors.
Additional context
We currently have a couple small teams but this feature is a potential blocker to the entire company adopting Gitpod.

Research direction
Start by locating the self-hosted Helm chart and its existing IDE configuration. Determine how an IntelliJ-disabling flag should coexist with the other IDE options; done means the chart can disable IntelliJ while leaving VS Code and other supported IDEs available.
