Awesome IDE for your daily JAVA related development
I am very pleased with IntelliJ IDEA after moving from Eclipse. Which is also a great tool but I love how smooth IntelliJ IDEA runs on my MacBook Pro. This is one of the best experience I have with an IDE
PROSI like how intelligently it suggests, and it's features which include awesome code completions, as well as intuitive way to integrate plugins for different tools. It also includes gigantic amount of shortcuts, when you're familiar with them makes your day to day life pretty easy. Attractive interface along with the debugging capabilities for JAVA makes this the go to tool for any developer. This also has version control included, which smoothens the process of a Software developer by a great deal
CONSSome plugins take huge amount of memory, so if you're on a machine which does not have enough power, you might not get the fullest experience. Hence you're encouraged to use a powerful machine for this Extremely Helpful software to run properly
Reasons for switching to IntelliJ IDEA
I felt the smooth experience and, the awesome support for Git, while being able to learn everything pretty easily wanting me to move to IntelliJ IDEA. I am glad that I made the move.

It was good, now it worse
This is my main (yet) IDE for last 6 years, so it is my kind of Swiss-army knife for development .
PROSIntelliJ IDEA is JAVA IDE and unified platform for other languages IDE like PyCharm (Python), HTML/Javascript (WebStorm), C/C++ (CLion) etc. Back in the days it was the most powerful and flexible IDE with a lot of features out of the box, modular structure that allows to extend functionality using plugins, very convenient editor with autocomplete and syntax highlighting, tools to run, debug and profile code and many more. Last not least it had reasonable price and discounts.
CONSNow days it becomes a little monster working pretty unstable and slow, with regular freezes and crashes. Developers communication with user community is pretty poor, requests for highly-demanded features are actually ignored for years, fundamental problems (like freezes) not fixed from release to release. Price model was changed, so fast-growing Visual Studio Code becomes more and more attractive alternative to JetBrain IDEs.

10 months of experience working with IntelliJ IDEA.
I have created several programs and one of them was about managing employee information (records and roles) using Java. my productivity has increased through provides right method at right time and get syntax quickly, no need to do Google search. It was smooth to work on than other programs like (Eclipse IDE).
PROSThe debugging feature allowed me to easily check variables and evaluate expressions. productivity and variable syntax and options have increased with the help of auto suggestion. I find it fascinating how we can write unit tests, run test cases and debug separately.

Powerful IDE worth the investment
A number of the other IDEs on the market are resource heavy and sluggish. IntelliJ also does a very good job with memory management on MacOS and doesn't need any fancy configuration to get up and running. Unit testing software, database plugins, memory monitors are all a part of this tool.
PROSJetbrains packs a lot of features into one IDE. If you are searching for a tool to do something very specific in Java - usually there is a plugin for it. I've grown up using netbeans and eclipse, but have always needed to rely on external tools to provide additional features. But intelliJ is very feature rich.
CONSThe cost is very heavy especially for a startup company. It works out if you are a large company or a teacher/student. The costs rule out a lot of people from using this tool over something free like eclipse/netbeans.
Reasons for switching to IntelliJ IDEA
The integrated toolset, the number of plugins, the support and the speed of intelliJ puts all other java IDEs to shame.

A thought on IntelliJ IDEA
I used this for more than 5 big projects in spring boot framework. I never had any issues. Easy configuring maven dependencies and can run or debug the application with a small simple configuration. Also support frondend frameworks without any issue.
PROSQuickly adjusting the project along with indexing files. Can found huge no of plugins for this software. Great support from company. Perfect for JAVA as suggestions and highly supports for the java. Can easily run or debug the application. Highly support for GIT and for all new major frontend frameworks also. Light weighted compared to other java IDEs'.
CONSA bit complicate for beginners to use the software. Slow indexing in large projects.
Reason for choosing IntelliJ IDEA
very fast, easy to use, minimum configuration, recommended by alot of people.

The only Java IDE you should use, ever.
IntelliJ is the best Java IDE with all competitors very far behind. It has excellent UI, a very rich marketplace of JetBrains-developed and 3rd party plugins for pretty much any framework or programming language you may need, very good debugging and refactoring features, among other strong points that any developer needs from an IDE.
CONSThe only con to using the Enterprise version of IntelliJ is that it's rather pricey. It may be a little heavy on system resources sometimes as well, but both of these points shouldn't really matter to a professional developer since using IntelliJ usually boosts your productivity, and makes up for the money you spend.
Reasons for switching to IntelliJ IDEA
Compared to NetBeans and Eclipse, IntelliJ is just on a whole new level. It is kind of unfair comparing IntelliJ which costs a few hundred dollars to open source/free IDEs like these two, but they are the main competition for IntelliJ nontheless.

The best IDE you can get
I am a big advocate of all Intellij products, yet I am not on their payroll :). As a developer, using Intellij IDEA is the best investment you can do to improve your development experience.
PROSI've been using Intellij IDEA for more than 8 years now and I can honestly say that it helped me to become a better developer. It has all the features you need and beyond. I especially like that I can code, debug, deploy and test everything within IDE, since there are many additional features that tie everything together (e.g. source code connected to database tools). It is better with each version.
CONSSince it is a large software that is targeting many different platforms it can be sometimes buggy. I had some experience with crashes/freezing, but I can usually resolve them (e.g. by downgrading or waiting for update, which is usually pretty fast).
Reasons for switching to IntelliJ IDEA
I was advised by my colleague to try Intellij IDEA and absolutely loved it.

Great IDE to start your coding journey
For this price range, this would easily be in the top 3 IDEs out there. Would definitely recommend.
PROSAs a beginner to coding, this software was the easiest to write code, debug lines of codes, and even the code completion feature helped a lot when I slowly got more advanced in Python coding.
CONSThe software is slightly heavy. I mean the startup is a bit slow compared to most IDEs in similar range. If you are completely new to coding, the UI might be a bit confusing to navigate around because of the number of features the software offers.
Reasons for switching to IntelliJ IDEA
Features offered in IntelliJ IDEA were of more use.

Great software but too heavy on resources
Overal is a great tool, but for the price paid I would expect a bit more care on the resources consumption section, since not always you are able to use a machine with 64 GB of RAM and an I9 CPU.
PROSIntellij is a really complete tool for java development; It offers great integrations to work with Maven, Hibernate and so on and the git integration for version controll is great. On the configuration side, it offers a really great amount of options, for example for the code formatter, code generation and other code-cosmetics stuff. Besides you can also create config for another great bunch of stuff such as a proxi configuration, Sonarqube integration and so on, but this is something more common among all java IDEs. The configuration of the environments for execution is really complete and is really useful in order to have different running option depending on your needs for the same project. It also allows to code Node.js projects and xhtml, without lacking any option. And in case of missing something, the integrated terminal is a really useful tool. Regarding the debugger, is really good, you can navigate directly from one class to another just by clicking on the variables and so on, which is very usefull to quickly set new breakpoints during the debug session. There are a lot of more capabilities that makes Intellij a great tool for java devs.
CONSWell, the main cons are the high amount of resources needed for this software, which makes that sometimes the IDE itself stuck for several minutes while it finished processing something. Also I found out that when you have multiple breakpoints set in the code, it also consumes a lot of RAM even when you're not debugging. Besides this, the great amount of features of the software makes complicate to learn how to use it. Also at some point after close the program it fails on terminating the Java process, so you ended with a bunch of java executions on the background
Reasons for switching to IntelliJ IDEA
I made the switch mainly because my new employer already had some Intellij licenses

Best IDE Ever!
It's best IDE for Java and Maven platform. Also, I've been using it for Spring Boot developments.
PROSIntelliJ IDEA is one of the products of Jetbrains. Most powerful thing for IntelliJ, all IDE has same features and user experience with user interface. Maven repository usage is very powerful. Also, autocomplete and intellisense are great.
CONSI was .NET developer and used Visual Studio more than 15 years. I really struggle to find some setting on IntelliJ menus.
Reason for choosing IntelliJ IDEA
Jetbrains has several tools. So, for example, after you use PyCharm, you can get adapted easily to use Intellij for Java development. Maven package management is better than other alternative products.
Reasons for switching to IntelliJ IDEA
IntelliJ has enterprise support. Also, PyCharm also same features and same UX, UI. So, in the company, we use Python and Java. Jetbrains ecosystem is the best choise.

PROSCode predictions and suggestions, a ton of customization options, a lot of plugins, and a supportive community.

Java IDE you deserve
IntelliJ Idea is certainly one of the best IDEs I was working with. It is packed with features and functionalities. The software is fast, intuitive, and reliable. Native support for various external tools and plugins makes work much quicker and easier. Direct link to documentation and sources allows to code faster and more efficiently. Prompts and 'intelligent' suggestions save a lot of time. IDE is flexible and fully customizable. A lot of external tools can be used from inside of IntelliJ (e.g. git). Also, good documentation, customer support, and a vast community guarantee that any problem with the app is solved with ease. On the other hand, you get what you pay for - this great tool is rather expensive, especially for freelancers. The community version for students and private use is available, which allows getting familiar with this tool for free. Sometimes it may be resource-consuming and could have better documentation for certain functionalities. All in all, despite small flaws, IntelliJ Idea is an amazing piece of code that makes life (and a job) easier and more enjoyable. Definitely worth it!
PROSAn enormous number of features and functionalities. Intuitive and easy to use. Vast native support for external tools. Many plugins are available, each easily managed from within the application. Good documentation and customer support. Large community across the internet.
CONSIntelliJ Idea is quite expensive, especially for freelancers. It can be resource-consuming, in particular when indexing files or compiling. Some features could have better documentation (functionalities that require extensive knowledge to use)

Designed for addiction...
I started with the community edition then I found out during the trial period of the Ultimate edition, is that it has so many powerful utilities and not only with but with other high level programming languages like groovy, Kotlin, etc. Also, I impressed with the integration with other CI tools i.e. GitHub, Team City, Jira, Docker, etc. In a nut shell it it is a beautiful and power IDE that's why I decided to buy a license for only 10 Euros a month, it's worth it.
PROSThe way it was designed, made me addicted to the tool, and I love to use it on a daily basis. To be honest I found Java more appealing to interact with using IntelliJ community or Ultimate edition.
CONSThe only Cons I find is if you don't use it you do not know what you are missing out... Sometime other integrated plug-in appear to issue messages but this is a minor issue as IntelliJ IDE is controlling the behavior of these plug-ins.

The 100 Year Java IDE War
It works, its a full blown Java IDE. If you're building a Web App or a Game Server, it'll do it. It works, looks, and feels, just like netbeans/eclipse/etc. You have a file dir window/panel then the code editor. you can run builds and bug checks. It auto reads classnames n such to cross reference your code live while typing it.
PROSDefault darkmode, the sexiest IDE with a default install (no plugins/themes). Also Android plugin, to make transition from web jar app to apk app easier.
CONSTBH I just don't feel that there's anything that sets this apart from Netbeans or other IDE. Oracle manages Java JDK's/JRE's for Debain/Ubuntu repo's as well as Netbeans. So that alone is why for NEW Java developers I suggest Netbeans. IntelliJ I offer as another solid alternative. Just their marketing of all the different IDE's for other languages they offer, then versions of those... Can be overwhelming/confusing for NEW users, so if I refer someone that way... I'm almost guaranteed to have a heap of questions of what version to use, should I be coding this is Java vs Python vs C.

Great IDE for JAVA Developers
Once you've gotten familiar with some of the more common IntelliJ IDEA keyboard shortcuts (Shift + Shift for finding/opening files, CMD+SHIFT+F for project searches), you will find yourself able to move across your codebase with little effort. I find the IDE just as stable if not more so than STS/Eclipse for Spring development.
PROSI've been a JAVA developer for about 12 years now and have bumped between Netbeans, Eclipse, and now IntelliJ as my IDE of choice. By far, IntelliJ IDEA is the best IDE for JAVA developers. We currently maintain a Spring Boot app with many microservices, using IntelliJ and their great keyboard shortcuts, I'm able to find and maneuver across files and projects with ease. The Evaluator in the debugger has also saved me countless hours of debugging by allowing me to easily test various methods on variables captured during debugging. Also, the later releases have really embraced themes. I've found the "One DarK" theme combined with the "Dracula" text editor color scheme to hit the spot for me. It's quite an elegant IDE.
CONSI've noticed the memory footprint of IntelliJ gets pretty high, but I have it managing all of my micro services and each java process is counted in there. I don't think IntelliJ necessarily uses more memory than other JAVA IDEs, but it's something you should be mindful of.
Reasons for switching to IntelliJ IDEA

IntelliJ: The Intelligent Code Editor for Smart Developers
Using IntelliJ has truly transformed my software development workflow. The user-friendly interface and powerful code editing features have been a real game-changer for me. The intelligent code completion and error highlighting have saved me countless hours and helped me catch bugs early on in the development process. In addition, the integration with popular build tools such as Maven and Gradle has made managing dependencies and building projects very straightforward. Even though there are some downsides, I am convinced that the benefits of IntelliJ far outweigh any drawbacks, making it my go-to code editor for all of my projects. What's more, it is not limited to Java development alone. The editor provides robust support for various programming languages, including Kotlin, Python, and JavaScript, among others. This makes it easy for developers to work on multiple projects and languages with ease within the same IDE.
PROSUsing IntelliJ has truly elevated my coding experience to the next level. It's an intelligent tool that lives up to its name, offering features such as code analysis, debugging, and refactoring that make coding really efficient.

IntelliJ IDEA personal opinion
I am using IDEA from 2004 and I could say that it is best Java Development Environment ever invented. Their team improves software every time as new Java version is appearing, and every time somebody finds a new issue in IDE. They have very democratic policy of using IDEA ultimate version for free. If you're a student or educational person, or even a scientist - you can use full version of IDE for free. Also if you're buying it - during a year JetBrains team could give you a discount coupon, so next year will be much cheaper for you.
PROS- Self explanatory menu - A lot of documentation in help section as well as helpful information on jetBrains forums and Jira - Easy to remember hot keys for managing files and classes creation and renaming - very smart code indexing so the IDE could do a very detailed precompiled analysys - IDEA is integrated with other language development tools like - any SQL client, JavaScript files code analysys, maven/gradle/ant scripting support - IDE is working on any known popular OS without any problems - Windows, Mac and all versions of linux are working nice
CONS- Sometimes file index mechanism is not working correctly - in this case I should call "Validate and Restart" procedure for IDEA. It usually takes time even on fast computers. - Sometimes IDEA fails updating application dependency when common Maven script was updated, In this case I should manually check/uncheck option in settings menu to make IDEA refresh code and dependency changes automatically

The best IDE for Java and more
- The UI looks pretty modern - It allows navigating through code, built-in libraries & third-party dependencies - It also allows the user to build & test their project very easily - It allows user to generate code coverage report with visual aid directly in the code - It allows the user to set breakpoints and use debugger to debug issues in code/unit tests - It also has a huge marketplace of plugins like, plugin for github, using which user can directly push and pull code through IDE
CONS- The UI although being very useful, does have a bit of learning curve - While booting the application, for a medium to big size project, it does take quite some time to index all the code - A lot of features are locked behind a premium edition of the product, like managing code on a remote machine

IntelliJ IDEA review for java developers
My overall experience is very good with IntelliJ IDEA because I mostly use this to develop a java project.
PROSI like the GUI of the software and also the functionality available on the software like running code through the button and running code in different modes like debugging mode etc. I like the themes present on the software and also it is available for different Operating systems like LINUX,WINDOWS etc. we can also download the different versions of java through this IDE ONLY. we can manage different projects in the software. It also gives you suggestion to add packages.
CONSFor web development, libraries are not available so can not use for web development.I like the least thing is that mostly developers use Intellij IDEA for Java development so it becomes less efficient for python development and web development. For New user it is difficult to understand the folder structure and how to start and run or configure the IDE.
