Overall Satisfaction with IntelliJ IDEA

IntelliJ IDEA is used as an Integrated Development Environment. It is being used across the whole organization. It is very helpful for software developers to develop software efficiently.
  • There is a vast number of integrated plugins that make them more efficient compared to other IDEs.
  • Built-in integrations with Version Control Systems such as Tortoise SVN and GIT helps software developers to avoid the integration chaos with the project repositories.
  • The shortcuts are not the same as other IDEs, which made it difficult during transformation from other IDEs to IntelliJ IDEA. It would have been very helpful if the shortcuts are as same as Eclipse IDE. Because Eclipse was a widely used IDE and many people transform from Eclipse to IntelliJ and in the initial days, they find it difficult to learn/remember the new shortcuts.
  • It makes software development faster and makes developers' lives easier because of all the functions/features it provides.
It has more efficient features than its counterparts. Autocompletion gives IDEA a qualitative advantage. IDEA refactorings are intelligent. They realize what you want, and offer different options that are suitable for most situations.
It is well-suited for dynamic software development that involves many libraries/plugins integrations with the workspace. Also well-suited in places where the code repository is maintained by a version control.
