Jetbrains Tools make me 10x the developer I am

IDEA is like going from using hand tools to using power tools for the first time. It's a learning curve, but when you see what you can achieve with it, you wonder how you ever wrote code without it.
Pros
I love that it indexes your entire project, so that intellisense actually suggests methods that exist and make sense rather than fuzzy matching like other IDEs do.
Cons
It is expensive. If you're a developer that has to pay for these tools personally instead of paid for by a company, it's a tough pill to swallow, but very worth it.
Reasons for Choosing IntelliJ IDEA
The in-depth understanding the IDE has of not just the language but the databases, build tools and frameworks around the language, that make using the language easier.Reasons for Switching to IntelliJ IDEA
The enterprise-grade tooling that comes with the IDE. It's not just an editor, but it's also a version control viewer, a database inspector, diagram generator and more.- Industry: Information Technology & Services

The best IDE for Java and Kotlin development software

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.

Amazing!!!! I was an "Eclipse lover" before using Intellij... Cannot go back to any other tool now. You won me Intellij. :)
Pros
Intellisense and the wide range of language support
Cons
Lack of suggestions to do a specific thing effectively. May be utilize the AI to analyze what a user is doing and suggest better ways to acheive the same with in the tool.

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).
