Overall Satisfaction with IntelliJ IDEA
Simply the trusted IDE for all your development needs. The core editor is just powerful, intelligent. And there are tons of plugins to support all the languages, formats you can think of. You can even maintain OpenApi & PlantUML documents within the IDE, with interactive rendering. SCM integration, like Git, is also top-notch. Forget the command line, just use IntelliJ's excellent GUI.
- Markdown document support makes writing well-formatted documents a breeze
- OpenApi spec support makes designing & maintaining your API much easier
- PlantUML diagram support prevents your team from complaining that diagrams are too tedious
- The number of default plugins could be smaller. Start small, let users add later according to their needs
- Activiti workflows support leaves much to be desired
- On complex projects, dependency management is not too reliable
- SCM integration
- Support OpenApi & PlantUML
- Reliable & fast code completion
- Code completion makes writing code faster
- Ability to edit lots of file types reduces switching between applications
- SCM integration makes collaboration less confusing
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.
