Overall Satisfaction with IntelliJ IDEA

All Java developers are using IntelliJ IDEA at LinkedIn. It's the only supported Java IDE in our company. Java developers use it to build everything.
  • Auto-complete. It can always help you find the APIs you need.
  • Extension and plugins. There are many third-party plugins that can improve developer productivity. It's also easy to develop your own plugins quickly.
  • Debugging. IntelliJ offers a full set of features to support debugging your program.
  • Performance. Sometimes it's slow if you are developing a large project.
  • IntelliJ improves the productivity of Java development.
  • By developing IntelliJ plugins, we integrated IntelliJ into our own infrastructure.
I think IntelliJ has more features and is more friendly for plugin or add-on developments. IntelliJ also suites better 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.
