IntelliJ IDEA

We use Intellij IDEA as our main IDE for all backend development and, in many cases, front-end development, although some developers prefer to use VSCode. But as far as backend development is concerned, IDEA is our main IDE. We use it for not just coding but also debugging, unit/integration testing, and general note-taking.

• Increased developer productivity in terms of coding and development.
• Increased dev productivity when it comes to testing.
• And GitHub copilot has helped the need for auto-generating code, thereby reducing a lot of time spent in writing tests.

I use IntelliJ IDEA for software development, primarily in Java programming. Our organization has product offerings, which are essentially SaaS products, so software development is the core of our organization. It is of utmost importance for my organization to be efficient in doing software development and, at the same time, not compromise on the security and quality of the code. IntelliJ IDEA makes this process much more convenient by providing a comprehensive environment where developers can write code, integrate the project with a database, develop pipelines, etc. One doesn't need to leave the IDE(IntelliJ IDEA) for most of their development tasks, such as using shell, running unit tests, running the project, version control, etc. IntelliJ IDEA also has excellent support for plugins to further enhance developer productivity.

• IntelliJ IDEA has definitely proven to be a good return on investment. It has improved developer productivity by at least 50%, as developers don't have to switch between different tools for things like giving shell commands, checking database entries, etc.
• With our recent integration with an AI code assistant tool, development time has been further reduced by at least 30%. This tool can suggest the structure of methods and classes and generate code within those functions.
• With the license server model and our organization's geographical distribution, we saved some more on the cost, bringing the return on investment to an even higher value.

We have been using IDEA for our Android, Web / PHP, Java, React, and React Native projects for almost a decade now - I like how compact and customizable it is - while providing unparalleled non-LLM predictions and code analysis. Having the same IDE across all these platforms is a huge time saver and convenience. It also integrates well into their ecosystem (like Hub, YouTrack, and TeamCity), and self-hosting these is easier than ever since they are available as docker images.

• Their startup discount of 50% is pretty helpful for smaller companies.
• The way IDEA can fit almost any language or project is a great way to save on purchasing several different IDEs.

IntelliJ IDEA is my business unit's go to IDE for our product and project work. We primarily work in Java but with IntelliJ IDEA's extensive plugin offerings, I have used it with other languages as well. In the regulatory environment where I work, it's easy to learn and use shortcuts allow me to do hours of work in a few minutes.

• The easy to learn and use shortcuts have created an environment of learning and sharing in my organisation.
• Quick on boarding of knowledge from people who have been using it to people who have not.
• Transforming hours of work into minutes.

IntelliJ IDEA is our preferred IDE for developing enterprise Java applications. Over 10000 developers use the IDE across over 300k repositories, which drives the core infrastructure of the bank, generating revenue in billions. We use it to write code, build and test our Java applications. Since our firm is a banking organization built on a complex, in-house technology and infrastructure system, an IDE is the fundamental building block.

• In built maven support - supports the entire maven lifecycle from clean to deploy via just clicks. Avoids having to manually type in commands or bring external configuration
• In built Lombok preprocessing - we needn't manually type redundant boilerplate code
• Syntax auto suggestion - saves time on looking up standard method names

• Has greatly enhanced developer productivity by over 20% with the help of its fast syntax highlighting
• Improved deployment cycles and reduced testing time by inbuilt syntax and sonar testing
• Easier and more scalable way to write and maintain complex codebases, reducing the learning curve
