Pros
Clean GUI, fast search and debugging. Build-in features so that you dont have to install extra stuff for development.
Cons
More free addons should be available in the store for it

This is the best tool for creating software and app using Java and Kotlin. Even if the software is far from being free, there are many many features that may never be used, but if needed are a life changer !
Pros
This is the best tool for Java/Kotlin development. Every tool you could ever need is included. The syntax highlighting is very important and works amazingly well !
Cons
The software is very expensive, and the support isn't easy to reach (only public forums, no kind of chat/mail/phone support). Also, this software isn't beginner-friendly because many features are hidden in menus. It may take several months before being fully familiarized with the software.

I would not recommend IJ for AS3 / Flex / AIR Development

Extremely bad experience. It was so bad that I started to build my own AS3 / Flex / AIR build engine; it overcomes the above problems and I can use it in place of IntelliJ's build & pack functionality. It will be on GitHub soon, look for ciacob/SIRIUS
Pros
It was an IDE that *somehow* filled the gap for AS3 / Flex / AIR developers after Flash Builder left the stage. With Moonshine not mature enough and Flash Developer being a rather unfriendly bunch of batch scripts that one would have to edit for things to kind-of-work, IntelliJ IDEA (plus the Flash/Flex/AIR plug-ins) stepped in to provide a solution, any solution at all.
Cons
I want to make it crystal clear that I mainly use IJ for AS3 / Flex / AIR development. I do not know whether its subpar behavior is rooted in those dedicated plugins. I did use IJ for developing some Node.js applications, and experience was a little better. But this review is ONLY about using IJ for AS3 / Flex / AIR development.
I very much dislike pretty everything, but the worst are:
- the build process: IJ does not do any work to ease SWC dependencies management; in a world where there are tools that analyze your code for imports and class instantiations and automatically match them against projects and libraries in your workspace (I build myself such a tool, it's name is SIRIUS and will be soon out on GitHub), IJ still wants you to add by hand 25+ dependencies.
- SDK handling: as any Flex/AIR developer knows, AIR SDKs have to be overlaid on FLEX SDKs and this alone is a source for countless problems; add on top that SDKs are often shipped in incomplete form (*.jar and *.swc files have to be salvaged from older SDKs) and you understand how being able to quickly patch / swap / tinker with an AIR/Flex SDK and test it's in working condition could save the day. IJ maintains some long-life caching of file listings in every SDK you throw at it; this makes it practically impossible to alter an existing SDK and have the changes reflected. The only workaround I have been able to find was to rename the SDK, add it as a new SDK, and remove the older one.

My experience with IntelliJ started in college, working on mainly java applications so I became rather familiar and comfortable with it over time. I chose to continue using it in my career because it makes sometimes tedious tasks rather simple and saves me a ton of time when building/mending dev environments.
Pros
I use this IDE for a variety of java programs that I have developed and continue to support. I love how easy it is to import different plugins and packages using the built-in features.
Cons
I don't believe I personally have anything to complain about. It is a solid IDE for many different development environments.

In overall, IntelliJ is my daily IDE choice. Having tried others (VSCode, Eclipse), IntelliJ is something that puts us in a comfort zone in regards to its features, plugins and overall usability.
Pros
It's flexibility, I can write code for any language, and IntelliJ IDEA is able to support it (natively or through a plugin).
Continuing on that, its plugin system allows it to be more than just a tool for writing code, having the possibility of checking Docker images in the local environment, connecting to your AWS account and integrating with its systems, an integrated database editor.
Cons
Sometimes, the IDE may take up some resources, making it somewhat slower, and having distinct behavior in its internal console and an external console (PowerShell).

I extremely enjoy coding in IntelliJ IDEA and although it has some negative things, it's much better than other IDEs (in my opinion). It looks more appealing and has pretty much the same features as other IDEs.
Pros
I really like how IntelliJ has a really nice interface and it looks really "clean". Classes are organized and it's really easy to use. Compared to other IDEs, it's appealing and many people I know use it daily.
Cons
One of the things I would change are the export options about IntelliJ. At least for me, I wish there were multiple options to export a project such as exporting it to ZIP file. I'm able to do by myself, but I wish IntelliJ would have it as a default option. I also wish you can zoom into the code easily (at least for Window users).

The best IDE for Java
Reviewed on 06/04/2024
Pros
It’s really easy to start using it, compile and run becomes an task, you just have to worry about the logic. It even suggests best practices in the code which I think
Cons
The community edition is great and you can do most of the things with it, but if you’re thinking on developing spring apps, you’ll need to pay for the additional plugins. It also may be difficult to start using all the extra helpful commands

Overall IntelliJ is worth the investment for anyone or anyone company big and small. It drastically improves developer productivity. With keyboard shortcuts and an easy-to-use IDE, it is my favorite IDE of all.
Pros
With all the plugins and features, IntelliJ is certainly easy to use and improves developer productivity.
Cons
Often I suspect it uses a lot of memory. This IDE can be made a little more lightweight and use less memory. Also, it takes up a lot of space for cache for dependencies. IntelliJ should clean up older gradle version caches, and older project dependency caches. This will save many GBs of hard disk space and improve the overall speed of the IDE and the computer itself.

I loved IntelliJ IDEA why because it is time saving while you are developing softwares it is way faster in debugging and straight forward it gives you the best environment for you technology for example i use python and there is no better IDE than pycharm for python code except the UI which is what makes me chose between other IDEs
Pros
Intellj idea is one of my favorite IDE because of the facts that they are so specific to technologies for example i am a python developer so they arranged a completely python loving environment for me and just like that for java etc and also that intellj idea provides you soo many good suggestions while you code that you save so much of your time and the development is quite fast which is needed to be fast. The suggestions it provides are accurate or near accurate.
Cons
I like everything except its UI and that is why i use other IDEs just because of it's user interface it does not looks like coders choice or atleast for me.

Over the past few years, I've moved to IntelliJ. It's superior, albeit I'm not sure why. There isn't just one significant jump. However, it is more adept at refactoring, supports a wider range of languages, handles Git better, and is easier to understand. It performs better when it comes to making inferences from code, such as recommending changes like switching to a lambda or eliminating unnecessary code. That kind of thing.
Pros
A very seamless development workflow is made possible by the design's inherent intelligence and efficiency, which extends to the construction, testing, debugging, and refactoring stages! In addition to offering a multitude of plugins that we can incorporate into the editor, it is jam-packed with capabilities.
Cons
The price is more expensive other wise the IntelliJ IDEA is best developing tool for application developers

A program suitable for Java
Reviewed on 16/05/2024
Pros
It is unlikely that you have coded with the Java programming language and have never used this program. If this program is not the best in its field, it is undoubtedly one of the best. I am grateful to the developers who have made it possible for students to use it for free.
Cons
Although vscode is also produced by the same company, but in some cases it has better UX for similar things.
