Overall Satisfaction with IntelliJ IDEA

It is used in order to view, modify and run Spark projects. It is used to integrate with Spark git repositories. To integrate with Spark SBT.
  • Autosaves documents
  • Has a modern, accessible layout
  • Efficient Git integration
  • Efficient and reliable code completion for Scala
  • Extremely costly premium subscription which contains some very essential features
  • Sometimes, code corrections are not helpful and annoying
  • Sometimes, error messages are not helpful
  • Git integration
  • Ease of access to many useful features
  • Accessible layout
  • Free community edition
  • Positive impact: allows developers to work faster by providing a lot of features
  • Positive impact: community edition is free
  • Negative impact: integration with Spark SBT can take some time
PyCharm is for Python, but otherwise similar to IntelliJ IDEA. Both IDEs are great for their intended languages. I selected Intellij IDEA because of its support for Scala. I selected Intellij IDEA over Spark SBT because it is faster and more convenient.

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.
