Chose Google Gemini
I like the UI of Google Gemini way more, and I also love the inbuilt integrations it has with open google docs and sheets. ChatGPT does not have (AFAIK) a Deep research section. Google Gemini Gems is also an awesome addition which helps to automate mundane/repetitive tasks. I …
It is great for non-coders who have some technology knowledge and are comfortable following Cursor's instructions to build and deploy a webapp. Good prompting skills are needed. It is not for those who are not comfortable looking at raw codes. Cursor also is not very creative when it comes to user interface design.
Gemini is well suited to help in customer service, to create summaries of emails sent by customers, generating possible responses to them, rephrasing communications, help create and then correct SQL queries, interpreting responses, it's not so good if you need to help with a sensitive topic due to it taking personally identifying information
This is a superb tool if your project involves a lot of backend development, especially in Java/Spring Boot and Kotlin. The support for the front end is great as well, but some developers may prefer to use the GitHub copilot add-on. I especially love using the GitHub copilot add-on. It may be less appropriate if your project requires heavy use of HotSwaps for backend debugging, as sometimes the support for that can be limited.
Deep research for getting first business research draft from Gemini, post which i use series of prompts to improve it and use my understanding to refine it further
Canvas to produce structured business topic research and newsletter. Direct edits to the sections and making client ready reports
Learning mode to get help on step by step automation of AI workflows
Unit testing: Fully integrated into IntelliJ IDEA. Your unit tests will run smoothly and efficiently, with excellent debugging tools for when things get tricky.
Spring integration: Our Spring project using Maven works flawlessly in IntelliJ IDEA. I know firsthand that Apache is also easily and readily supported too. The integration is seamless and very easy to set up using IntelliJ IDEA's set up wizard when importing new projects.
Customization: IntelliJ IDEA comes out of the box with a bunch of handy shortcuts, as well as text prediction, syntax error detection, and other tools to help keep your code clean. But even better is that it allows for total customization of shortcuts you can easily create to suit your needs.
Currently the document database caps out at 10, requiring us to condense some of our policies
It's large context window is a blessing and a curse. Sometimes it stops generating half way through a very ambitious request as it delivers page after page of content
There is no way to share Gems currently, so we have to publish guides to our employees on how to best configure them
VS Code is maturing and has a Scala plugin now. The overall experience with VS Code - for web development at least - is very snappy/fast. IntelliJ feels a bit sluggish in comparison. If that Scala plugin for VS Code is deemed mature enough - we may not bother renewing and resort to the Community Edition if we need it.
Really easy to use; we've been replacing all other IDEs for it now. As it is a fork of Visual Studio Code, we transitioned to it in a very smooth way, and now our development process is faster than ever. It supports a bunch of languages and we don't need to have a webpage with an LLM open now because it is all with Cursor.
Google Gemini Web UI provided an intuitive user experience with a collapsible side menu and a recent chat feature. It has a nice, clean design and easy-to-use "Ask Gemini" chat control with an integrated Tool menu that provides quick access to Deep Research and Create images options. One can also search for chats quickly and efficiently.
There is always room for improvement, but I haven't met any IDE that I liked more so far. Even if it did not fit a use case right out of the box, there is always a way to configure how it works to do just that.
Customer support is really good in the case of IntelliJ. If you are paying for this product then, the company makes sure that you will get all the services adequately. Regular update patches are provided to improve the IDE. An online bug report makes it easier for the developers to find the solution as fast as possible. The large online community also helps to find the various solutions to the issues.
This installs just like any other application - its pretty straight forward. Perhaps licensing could be more challenging - but if you use the cloud licensing they offer its as simple as having engineers login to the application and it just works.
Softr's chat AI is less sophisticated. However, it is great for building simple database-driven webapps. I have used it together with Airtable to build a very simple webapp. It is drag and drop. Vercel V0's chatAI is faster and more friendly. The user interface is also more visually appealing and user friendly. It is comparable to Cursor though I have only used V0 briefly so have not gone through the learning curve.
Hootsuite's OwlyGPT is great for social listening data, but Gemini is far ahead in terms of caption writing and other writing needs. Even for content creation ideas, I'd rather take the social listening insights then feed that to Gemini. ChatGPT I truly have never been a fan of. Gemini's interface has always intrigued me more and I find it to have great functionality. Lastly, I included Perplexity - just to note another tool I've used. Perplexity is great for deep research, but outside of this I would always go with Gemini.
Eclipse is just so old, like a dinosaur, compared to IntelliJ. There are still formats that Eclipse supports better, especially old and/or propriety ones. Still, most of the modern software development needs can be done on IntelliJ, & in a much better way, some of them are not even supported on Eclipse.
