### "Did not find a tool as good as this one anywhere yet"

November 23, 2014

5.0

Really love it. I use PyCharm as well as IntelliJ for writing Python, Java and Scala code. And I have yet to find a tool as good as this one. The autocompletion in Python and Java is very responsive and on point. The UI is easy, clean and customisable and it integrates very well with other tools and languages like scss and coffee script. I really like the fact that now as a Student you can try and use all the professional tools for free. The Scala autocompletion is good but sadly not as clever as the java one.

Working on IntelliJ is a breeze, because it has all the features that a JAVA development IDE can have.

Pros

Great integration with other tools, like Maven. Also great level os customization. Plus it runs smoothly on a Macbook.

Cons

Takes some time to get used to it. Can be very memory heavy on a Windows computer. Price is a bit salty.

Pros

It has quite useful debugging tools. It is free, it provides assistance at all times to the programmer.

### "Best (but costly) IDE"

February 2, 2017

5.0

I have used Netbeans, Eclipse, Xcode and IntelliJ Idea. IntelliJ Idea is the most easy to use IDE I have come across. It is a bit costly but if you have a student email, you can get a good discount.

### "A Best for Java."

June 4, 2021

5.0

This is also too much easy because I can handle everything.

Pros

There are many IDEs, but IntelliJ does a great job. However, I am very happy with this. It is much better with every version.

Cons

Sometimes it might be buggy because it is a huge software. That is why it happens. After, it is the nice one as well.

### "Thats program it is very util but it have some problems that take time"

April 7, 2018

5.0

IntelliJ is great in the refactorings it provides and have a good plugin stability.

Pros

I like so much the colors interface, its similar the text editor SublimeText. The menu it's organized, and it's easy identified in a simple view all functions. It's important for me stand out the refactor function, because it's possible refactor my code in a number of ways and will successfully compile statically, also the IDE adds explicit type to fields when they from field initializers and make the IDE very practice.

Cons

The free version it's very very limited in the functions and the lenguage plugins availables. Sometimes present errors with server conection.

### "Very good IDE"

February 23, 2021

Overall I am very satisifed with IDEA. It is a great IDE

Pros

This IDE is very easy to use. It also makes it simple to connect to third party services (e.g. GIT).

Cons

One thing I have noticed is that this IDE consumes quite a lot of memory on my machine. Often find I have to close other applications in order for it to run efficiently.

### "My favorite IDE"

October 10, 2016

5.0

I have tried many IDEs over the years but once I got a license for Jetbrains I fell in love. Feature packed and powerful, I have used a few flavors of their software for different programming languages. There are lots of configuration options and it may take some time to fine tune for your developing needs, but once I got it all working I spend more time using this software than anything else.

### "Best IDE used so far"

October 15, 2018

4.0

Pros

IntelliJ works almost all the language be it java, c, c++, python etc. It allows them to work with the help of plugins available. Even it also supports third party software integration. I used jenkins along with intelliJ and was able to execute jobs by giving settings and commands in intelliJ software.

Cons

Since it supports so many features and functionalities, so its performance is good for light use but it reduces as demand goes on increasing.
