From terminal to Database debug to live code editing to source control. And the support of plugins is like the cherry on top thing. > > **Cons**: Bulky. Consumes a lot of RAM. But I guess if the software is providing so much information and functionalities it will require RAM. > > I am using it daily at work. I can't describe how much I liked it, my productive level has increased by folds after using it. ----- ### "The only Java IDE you should use, ever." — 5.0/5 > **Ahmed** | *3 August 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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. > > **Cons**: The 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. ----- ### "I would not recommend IJ for AS3 / Flex / AIR Development" — 1.0/5 > **Claudius** | *16 November 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **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. - indexi CHAR LIMIT HIT. > > 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 ----- ### "Intellij Idea is one of the best IDE for Application Development. It has Lots useful of features." — 5.0/5 > **Mukeshkumar** | *23 February 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very useful IDE for developers for application development. Neat and clean UI. Lots of themes and many good features. Many customizations option. Easy to use , integrate with plugins and extensions. Good debugging, code completion and refactoring tools. Integrated Maven , Gradle and GIT makes it very easy for code development. > > **Cons**: Ultimate edition is very costly for individual developers. It is a Heavy software, so need better system with good computing and memory resources, otherwise it will make the machine slow. New users might get overwhelmed with lots of options and features. So, there is some learning curve to use this software. > > Overall, IntelliJ IDEA is a very powerful tool for developers, so it's a must have IDE. ----- ### "Must have IDE for multiple purpose developer" — 5.0/5 > **Xin** | *6 April 2022* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1. support lots of func , not only jave but also js or pure txt based project. 2. best git management tool GUI 3. index with faster search > > **Cons**: 1. computer resource litter higher such as memory 2. space manage (after use Toolbox better, can use external disk for all config and cache/index) 3. litter expensive > > 1\. good IDE for all purpose dev include java , js, etc. 2. after use it, then cannot leave it and cannot switch to other tool 3. the keymap very flexisible ----- Page: 1 / 52\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/125123/intellij-idea?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/125123/intellij-idea) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
