Has a great marketplace for plugins and great interface and shortcuts to navigate and edit faster. It helps me code better with suggestions and navigate my code fast.
Uses a lot of resources. This issue is very annoying and happens very often, which can be really frustrating and damage your developing experience.
It works well with lots of frameworks and debugging capability is very good. Integration with git is very good and makes the code check in process seamless.
It is a known issue that most of the IDEs haven' detailed error messages, maybe they can improve this, sometimes the errors are more frustrating.
The autocomplete is amazing, and the debugger is super intelligent and makes it super easy to find bugs and fix unintended behaviors.
When I shoot a new project, my old projects deteriorate. I need to do the dependency settings again.
Overall experience with IntelliJ IDEA is very good and better than Eclipse. I found it as one of the best IDE for Java development.
A number of the other IDEs on the market are resource heavy and sluggish.
And if the editing aspects are very good and consistent during its use offering the greatest comfort, a friendly environment and no doubt some is at the height of the best programming editors.
The navigation tabs and buttons are too much and could be confusing especially for newbie.
I love the speed that this IDE has to offer and yet it is so simple keep up the good work.
I have found that it can lag sometimes. This usual happens when I am trying to tab complete something in Python that has many possible results.
This IDE supports a lot of languages and will support all the popular ones. I got this IDE because when I was learning python the tutorial I'm following uses this IDE.
There are some options that you might need to fix from the default before you start coding or you might encounter some problems later on.
I love how easy it is to navigate this software. Every function is at your fingertips.
So far, there haven't been attributes that I don't like.
Philip T.: My name is Phil. I'm a writer and I give IntelliJ IDEA 5-stars. I decided to try and learn how to write code for Android applications, so I used IntelliJ IDEA as the environment to do that work. It has absolutely everything on it. It's all in one place. Easy to navigate as well and nice clean interface. It was easy to use. I picked it up really quickly. The Help files could probably be improved for IntelliJ IDEA because it offers so much that you can do. There's a lot that you need to learn. So if you're new to the platform, there's a very steep learning curve.
Guy G.: Hi, my name's Guy. I am the director of a small business and I would give Komodo IDE four stars out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. So before Komodo IDE, I mainly used CoffeeCup HTML Editor. And I think the switch was down to probably functionality and being able to view webpages. And it was also easier in terms of uploading content as well. So we use Komodo for editing and updating webpages and also for HTML newsletter content. Yeah, it's super simple to get started with. I'm pretty sure it's a free tool. And yeah, it has all the functionality in terms of checking and verifying syntax and stuff like that, webpages, and... Yeah, it's a great tool. Getting started with Komodo is pretty straightforward if you know a little bit about HTML editing already. I'm no expert, but I find it pretty intuitive in terms of the layout and being able to pull commands or syntax in from the libraries. So, yeah. It's one of those, for me, jump in, start using it. Yeah. Pretty easy to get started. So if you are considering getting Komodo, I would get on the... As I say, I'm pretty sure it's a free version, so there's not much to lose. Get stuck in, start simple with some basic webpages. One of the key tips I would say is make one or two small edits at first, upload, and check that it's working rather than spending hours editing a web page or a newsletter or something, and find out that the syntax is all out. So, yeah. Start with some small changes and get stuck in.
