Eventually, it reached a point that I was outperforming our lead/architect. ![]() Simply having a better tool eased the learning-curve, reduced bugs, increased development speed, and reduced time spent fighting with my tools. After much frustration, I did some research, tried out several other IDEs and quickly found many of my frustrations alleviated due to being able to work with software that had better error-checking, auto-completion, and general 'awareness' of the code across several languages. The last company I worked for had a SpringMvc/java/webapp, and my first two months were extremely painful. However, the reason I use (for Java) IntelliJ over Eclipse, and Eclipse over Sublime/Notepad++, and Sublime/Notepad++ over vim/emacs/notepad/textedit is that my time is precious and I choose to use the best tool for the job. If one really wanted, you don't really need Eclipse or IntelliJ to write Java apps, and could write Java-apps in a plain-old-text-editor. This comment describes my general feelings as well I don't hate it, but I find IntelliJ (and other ides) to generally be far superior for performing many Java tasks. But like all things Internet, not everybody who claims to have an opinion actually has one. I don't hate it, but I guess some of those who do have their reasons. ![]() Apart from the hundreds of things that are better about it (for a Java programmer), it is also a lot easier on the eyes (for a DTP person / typographer).īut Eclipse was and is made not specifically for Java but for many languages, it is very modular and has a lot of plugins available. I never looked back, I am in a different world now. But then I invested a day to try out IntelliJ IDEA. Worked with it for at least a year, the experience wasn't bad (though I and a colleague had a nasty Eclipse bug that wasn't fixed at least half a year, no reinstall helped, and I had the same bug at home on a completely different machine no one on the Internet seemed to have the same problem, though). Then I started with Java, so I got Eclipse. ![]() It was the first thing I worked with after a decade of (work-related) Visual Basic 6.
