IntelliJ IDEA

For a modern software project, where you want to store everything as code, from the backend to the frontend, to the DB patch scripts, to the documents, API specs, diagrams, infrastructure-as-code, etc. IntelliJ is basically your one-stop. In the same IDE, you can write code, write a spec, draw diagrams, make changes to patch scripts, infrastructure definition.

It is great for Java programming (and the Java Environment) as well as for web development, especially with frameworks such as Angular and React. For large projects consisting of multiple modules, it shines in it's organisation and simplicity.

However it does lead to some long build times. Also, not all languages (for example, Python) are good for IntelliJ.

Well suited for java development and testing. Since it has support for git, Maven, and Gradle it becomes easier to manage projects in Intellij IDE. Intellij supports various views for programming, debugging, and testing. Debug mode is supported and is easy to use. Can be used for Java, Spring Spring boot, and Scala projects as well.

Only the memory is a concern, as IntelliJ takes up much of the available memory, especially while debugging.

Appropriate for personal and enterprise use on medium to large-sized projects. The free community edition is sufficient for most business tasks. For students and teachers, the ultimate edition is free which is ideal. For very small projects, e.g. to just run a single file, IntelliJ IDEA may not be appropriate.

This is a great software which has helped us in delivering the requirement for our clients on time as the developers don't need to learn the user interface from scratch also developer tools are a major plus point. This only lacks in performance where we have to bring more capable machines for work.

Like other products from JetBrains, it is an IDE that integrates all the needs for projects of various frameworks. You have handy features to send commands to the terminal, access its database (view and make changes), run your code and debug simply. But it is an IDE that requires a lot of RAM, but compared to other IDEs on the market this is the best one for Java developing.

Good IDE with a lot of tools that make development easier, but it has a rather high learning curve, no problem if you already have contact with other JetBrains IDEs.

I think it does a very good job as an IDE across a whole gamut of different languages. Syntax highlighting is obviously top-notch, and the flexibility of custom key bindings/mappings really cater to the engineer's nuances.

Web development: IntelliJ IDEA offers advanced support for the most important web frameworks and standards. This includes ultimate code assistance for HTML5, CSS3, SASS, LESS, JavaScript, ActionScript, and other languages.
HTML and CSS Editor: IntelliJ IDEA's advanced editor provides you with the very best coding assistance for working with HTML and CSS.

IntelliJ IDEA has been a great tool to develop Javascript and Java services for myself. Debugging/Running code is effortless and requires minimal configuration by the user.

I prefer using a GUI to text configuration, and IntelliJ IDEA provides that very well. It would be nice if they provided textual configuration in addition to the UI.

There are many default configurations to run different scripts without having to search the internet to find examples for how to get the IDE set up.

Write Java code--IntelliJ IDEA is the best IDE for Java I ever used. The built-in IntelliSense make the development very easy and fast.

Intuitive UI--A very simple but complete UI learning curve for a beginner is very low compared to other IDEs. Personally this UI makes me comfortable while working.

Handling large projects--In this area, IntelliJ IDEA has some downsides. When opening a large project in IntelliJ IDEA, often my laptop hangs. So to work with large projects, I would recommend Eclipse.

Version control--Super easy in Intellij IDEA. It's easy to switch between branches, committing, seeing annotations, history, etc. The built-in version control system is super cool.

For software developers. Backend, Frontend, Full-stack, everybody can find their ideal combination, or use the superset, IDEA itself. It has proven to be the one single tool that is needed as an IDE.

I didn't really have to contact support because their FAQ and community provided every answer I have ever needed.

IntelliJ IDEA is very well suited for web application development projects. It handles both modern and legacy projects well. The outline mode is especially helpful when dealing with large component files with many methods.

Big projects need a complex IDE to allow developers to explode their potential. IntelliJ IDEA is extremely helpful since it also provides a huge sort of integrated tools. Managing complex software with dependencies, folders, and files is easier with this IDE. However, maybe for a very simple project (although it's also useful), I'd prefer using another IDE. IntelliJ is so big and complete that it can be too much for simple code.

Due to its cost, I believe it is best suited for enterprise since its subscription model is really costly at 199$ per year. I got it on a students' subscription but again, this is a very professional IDE and if you want to use it only for web, I believe it would be going over the top since for simple web development there are cheaper alternatives. But if you are a java and a web developer and can afford it, go for it!

Spring and Spring Boot framework development ide. Suitable for any Java standalone or enterprise application development integrated development environment. Developer productivity and ecosystem around, plugins etc. A bit oriented and focused only for Java development and java based frameworks maybe should be more agnostic and more close to other languages like java script or python or ruby

Let's say you declare 20 different variables of type int all in same code style. But, now you want to make it to other data type. So, you will have to use Find and Replace feature but it will replace all your int type variables. So, what you need to do is enter ALT + Insert and select the int column wise and voila, you have selected all the int you need to change.

It's the best support out there.

Well suited for a beginner who has just begun coding. We can improve our coding skills without thinking much about boilerplate code.

They have a great support when it comes to any issue you're facing with their product.

Coding in Java is very easy and its versatility makes it easier to debug the large programs. Developing Web applications using this IDE is fun however making professional projects on this IDE is not economical because of its annual fee for its usage. However, it can be used by novice and professionals to develop various applications.

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.

The best for daily developing routines and having your project integrated with Github or any other repository. It allows you to write and navigate code easily, I like XML navigation and references auto-complete. You are allowed to create a connection to your working database directly from the IDE for easy debugging and validating the correctness of your code.

Never used IT support.

My everyday software development is done in IntelliJ. Different types of testing suites can also be added to it. Before it used to be a problem to integrate cucumber testing suites to IDEE but IntelliJ has made life easier and more sophisticated. Anyone planning to use IntelliJ for front-end web development, I don't prefer this because there are much more better tools than this in the market. If it is back-end development, this is the best choice one can get in the present scenario.

I have taken out that one point because of its pricing and sometimes it hangs without a reason and it does not allow us to close it normally. We have to force shut it and open it again.

IntelliJ IDEA supports efficient development, packaging, and deployment of web services. For instance, IntelliJ is often used for creating RESTful web services used by other existing applications written in other languages. IntelliJ integrates well with MAVEN, Spring and AMPS which are necessary to some applications. IntelliJ IDEA fully supports XML editing and implementation. Overall, IntelliJ IDEA provides extensive features and tools for building, running and debugging code which are essential to all software development projects.

For Java development, I prefer IntelliJ IDEA over other IDE's because of the various beginner-friendly features it has to offer. IntelliJ IDEA offers many "smart" and helpful features at the same time improving user experience and coding knowledge. Additionally, the UI allows quick and easy navigation. IntelliJ IDEA lets you quickly and easily write and change the code, suggests appropriate names, finds the appropriate methods. It does not require you to exactly select the expressions, but guesses what you want to do and how you wanted to name it. It anticipates and suggests which gives it the intelligence that other IDEs lack.

IntelliJ IDEA is very well suited for Web App Development, but with a very rich feature set, the UI is quite complicated to use. I hope they could clean up the UI further and make menu navigation and classification easy.

Never asked for support, especially when we're using a free version. And most issues that could be encountered are found on the web with a solution anyway.

So if you are a backend developer working with statically typed JVM languages such as Scala, Java, and Clojure, IntelliJ is pretty much your only real option. Sure, there's Eclipse, but everyone who works in Java knows Eclipse is way too buggy and lacks the powerful features that make JVM developers most productive. And it's even worse for Scala, because no other editor, not even Eclipse, has deep support, so Scala programmers are pretty much stuck on IntelliJ (unless you are willing to try out VSC's new Metals extension, which my coworkers say is still too beta for them).

If you are a front end developer, there's no reason to use IntelliJ because the IDE features such as autocomplete or code navigation aren't available for them anyway. It's much better to just roll with Vim, Emacs, Sublime Text, or VSCode, which are way more intuitive to use and lightweight.

IntelliJ has great email support. I've usually gotten replies the same day. If you file a bug through YouTrack, you can publicly track it's status here https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/oauth?state=%2Fissues%2FIDEA. IntelliJ's developers squash bugs in the code editor pretty fast but are pretty slow in their plugins. For example, I use Ideavim (the Vim plugin) and there was a huge bug with exiting insert mode that took 4 months for them to fix after I and several other people filed the bug with them.

It's a great IDE for Java developers. I recommend IntelliJ for everyday Java development, especially for large companies.

We have our own in-house team to support our IntelliJ, so we didn't get a lot of support from IntelliJ itself.
