Overall Satisfaction with IntelliJ IDEA

IntelliJ IDEA is my business unit's go to IDE for our product and project work. We primarily work in Java but with IntelliJ IDEA's extensive plugin offerings, I have used it with other languages as well. In the regulatory environment where I work, it's easy to learn and use shortcuts allow me to do hours of work in a few minutes.

Pros

  • Convenient shortcuts that are easy to learn
  • User friendly interface
  • Extensive plugin offering

Cons

  • Over simplified UI changes
  • More integration with AI
  • Customizable shortcuts
  • The easy to learn and use shortcuts have created an environment of learning and sharing in my organisation.
  • Quick on boarding of knowledge from people who have been using it to people who have not.
  • Transforming hours of work into minutes.
It very easy to use, and with a bit of practice you can streamline your workflow and drastically increase your productivity. When multiple people are using it who are working together it amplifies this with the sharing of newfound tips and shortcuts that are specific to our workflows. Whether you are a beginner or expert, IntelliJ IDEA is almost guaranteed to improve your coding life.
IntelliJ IDEA is the most specific and oriented towards my line of work, however, after using it for years - it's also my preferred IDE that I use for personal projects as well. Jetbrains other IDE offerings are almost as good and I do use them from time to time but IntelliJ IDEA is the complete package.
