I can say everything is best in this tool. Right from GUI, easy of use, Integration/collaborations with other tools.

It's starting more and more to feel outdated, and there's no decent dark mode that does everything. Upgrading to new versions was always a hassle.

Development with Eclipse is a hiccup free experience and has pretty reliable integration with GIT and contains lots of plugins to extend its features.

Being able to fire up a free yet capable IDE and follow some tutorials allowed me to test my proof of concept fairly quickly.

This has best user interface almost you can use it as ide for java, c/c++, python as because of its versatile operation.

Eclipse is a great software IDE for development in multiple languages. It mainly supports Java, but we can use it for many other purposes by installing the right plugins.

Eclipse is THE Integrated Development Environment you will need to use for any sort of Java software development. I loved that even though it is a complex IDE, it is pretty easy to get started with.

It's still decent, especially if you need something free. But spending the money on another IDE can definitely be worth it.

Setting up of eclipse is a tad tiresome. If you are not used to use this IDE, it will be hard to understand the project explorer.

It has multiple plugins and easy integration with Git. This IDE is developer-friendly and debugging is easier compared to others.

I love the way how it adapts the code formatting and refracting as it's best just define the project language and you are ready to go, simple yet amazing.

Good for project developement and management, it have an excellent debugging capacity which process the code fast.

It supports all sort of Java Development, right from Java SE to Java EE. Its keyboard shortcuts are super intuitive.

One of best industry standard software for developers. Pretty easy to use and well organized.

Nothing to dislike but it not support web development and it takes more memory location.

As it is open source, it comes with its own set of benefits like huge number of plugins, third party support and integrated management. Faster than many IDE's I have used.

My experience as a student with eclipse is very good and smooth. I am still using this IDE for developing many major and minor academic projects.

Easy to use tool with large community support.

Supports running JUnit for testing and running Java programming languages. Has integrations of almost all Java libraries and easy to use.

Missing few features which are available in Intellij. Sometimes it takes more time to load and requires reboots.

Overall I like Eclipse and have had a positive experience. It is an inexpensive option that performs at a high level.

Switched to Software With Better User Experience / GUI.

Can be difficult to learn the nitty gritty details of the software for a beginner.

It is a powerful tool and Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the developers / programmers using Java, C and Python. It has a good and modern user interface.

It is memory eater and turns system slow. The absence of debugger for JavaScript is a lack.

I used Eclipse in school and for 5+ years on the job afterwards. It's a great IDE, supports all needs and there's a ton of plugins.

I like that I can integrate 3rd party applications with Eclipse IDE to manage my API to test my back-end. Also, I like that Eclipse IDE provides a range of programming languages for different use.

The best feature about eclipse is its interface which is basic, clean and easy to understand. This IDE is very lightweight in terms of consuming processors.

I really enjoyed the fact that I could even open netbeans based projects (with the exception of the GUI builder in Java swing). It made life a lot easier and on a budget it works very well.

It has cool integration with git and makes the code check in process simpler.

Unfortunate eclipse has slowly been getting heavier and heavier and has become as overweight as netbeans.

I loved the fact that most of the tools to do any Java-based or even pyton-based development are free in this IDE. It gives a good introduction to new developers especially in the startup context.

Overall experience has been great and have been using this software for 12 years now.

The Auto Doc Features, Inbuilt Console, Now the Dark Mode made eclipse a good Ide to work on. I recommend to fellows for working on it and the Best Part It's Free.

The fact that you can get Eclipse IDE without a monthly subscription makes the lack of shortcuts seem like a frivolous complaint.

It offers a variety of editors, and the night mode in more recent versions makes coding easier for developers. The community support there is outstanding for learners.

Most suitable for java and spring boot development. It has multiple plugins and easy integration with Git.

I would actually recommend working with community version of IDEA rather than Eclipse.

Eclipse - A simple, Easy to use, Basic IDE (Mother of all IDE's).

It was a best experience with eclipse as its versatile operation helps to work with all popular language like c, c++, python, and Java.

The plugins we developed helped a lot our dev teams community (about +1000 developers), bringing more efficiency and fun to the coding / testing / debugging activities.

For startups and learners community edition may be a good choice and after successful, they can opt-in for Ultimate Edition for enterprise functionality.

As a Java developer this IDE is my all-time favorite. I highly suggest the paid version which adds many cool features, but even the community edition is so powerful and pleasing to the eye.

I dislike importing from the git. It is very hard to find space as all your projects can easily get mixed into one another.

Using IntelliJ for automation has been wonderful. Even the free version has great power.

If you want to work with language like Scala, you will need this kind of robust, powerful editor. It does it's job perfectly.

As an IDE which is not resource hungry and has good community support this helps a lot for developers and their workflows.

Periodically need to reinstall it due to failure of plugins. The software just fails to start and then need to remove plugin directory, install everything again etc.

It integrates perfectly with Android and supports Kotlin out of the box.

On top of this, it provides a clean and customizable interface that helps immensely during the coding process.

Great supportive team and there are developer communities which we can get the help if we have any issues.

Also, there are a few edges that could be smoothed out in some of the View windows and the way they display errors.

My overall experience with IntelliJ has been great thus far. I find it's one of if not the better Java IDE around, easy to use, and covers everything needed.

Overall it’s really helpful and anyone doing coding everyday should consider taking the subscription to get all the features.

Its very good Compiler for java and it even have very good discounts for students and other people too.

Time to load the project when having multiple components is bit considerable which could be ignored when compared to its functionalities.

I absolutely love how much is built into this amazing product. Super easy to use, customize, install any additional plugins.

Overall experience has been great. It has been a pleasant experience transitioning from eclipse.

My overall experience with IntelliJ IDEA is great and I love this software because there are not other software like this and makes my life so much easier to do projects.

I don't hate it but it is somewhat difficult to use compared to Eclipse.

It's been really good so far, even the friends I've recommended the software to, loved the suggestion.

Even if they don't wish to pay, the community-edition is easily accessible. This software is terrific, and I'm going to remain loyal for years.

Autocompletes are just amazing and make development very easy and exploratory. Debugging is very easy and straightforward.

It provides amazing intelligent features that suggest and helps in completing development tasks. It also provides many useful plugin features, debugging features and version control integration.

Sometimes the updates are very large and sometimes it requires you to install everything again. Other than these minor issues, I haven't found anything much that I dislike.

I've been using it for several months now after going through a coding Bootcamp. The features and ease of use are awesome.

Framework Integration is quite flexible and top notch. Autosuggest is very intelligent and helps you speed up your development.

I love the integrations and ease of use. This is by far one of my favorite IDE's for writing automated tests.

Software development quality and efficiency is great and fast. If you have questions about IntelliJ, they help you as soon as possible.

You have to know that a functionality exists before you can use it, and getting new features to work can be confusing.

Intelli J is an amazing IDE for Developers beat its UI, interactiveness, and a lot of good features. Shortcuts and autocomplete code helps and save time also.

Great software at a reasonable pricing level with great support.

The comprehensive set of tools built into the IntelliJ product is staggering. The code editing is fun, flexible and powerful.

It is the best IDE out there in the market. Just get IntelliJ IDE Ultimate and enjoy coding in almost any popular languages.

I like that this software makes it very easy for me to code in Java. The UI is very friendly and it is like Pycharm but for Java.

It was a little confusing at the beginning but it includes a tutorial so you can learn how to use it there.

Ease of use, extensive list of plugins (will likely cover everything you need), supports other languages besides Java, community support is great when needed.

I would recommend using this software if one needs faster and seamless development and the company is ready to pay money for it.
