It is OK if you have to use an IDE (currently I only use an IDE for java development, so I have little choice) Managing files, buffers and workflow is half of the value of vim/neovim. Once it isn't hard anymore you will blow yourself away at how much more efficiently you edit files.Īlso vim keybindings in a mouse driven editor does not cut it.

While IntelliJ focuses primarily on Java and JVM languages (like Kotlin and Scala) Eclipse. Also, it is a bigger project than IntelliJ IDEA. Compared to IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse comes in 40+ languages. Settling on lesser editors out of laziness is exactly the attitude that results in shitty the engineering. While IntelliJ is a Java IDE for professionals and students, Eclipse focuses on open-source development with its wide range of optimized IDEs. But as you use it more, as long as your usage goes over 40% of the time, in 6 months you will understand why most of the world's too engineers use it. It will infuriate you for 6 weeks, make you cry for another 2 IntelliJ is not creating the src/main/java folder for me to create the Main class Hello, I understand that it might be hard to catch up with third-party updates (IntelliJ maybe) but theres no way to follow up the course if things dont work as shown during video. Start using it 20% of the time on single file edits, watch youtube videos about it and teach yourself vim gestures. If you want a real workflow that gives you ultimate performance, customization and speed you need to use a modal editor, I suggest NeoVim. All of these tools are built in a mouse-driven world, they are designed not for engineers, but office monkeys. So here is the deal man, bottom line you want to write code. IntelliJ IDEA has a broader approval, being mentioned in 815 company stacks & 1065 developers stacks compared to WebStorm, which is listed in 469 company stacks and 449 developer stacks. Lyft, Asana, and Square are some of the popular companies that use IntelliJ IDEA, whereas WebStorm is used by Lyft, HelloReceipts, and Edify.

"Fantastically intelligent", "Best-in-class ide" and "Many languages support" are the key factors why developers consider IntelliJ IDEA whereas "Intelligent ide ", "Smart development environment" and "Easy js debugging" are the primary reasons why WebStorm is favored. Built-in debugger for client-side JavaScript and Node.js.Some previous versions of IntelliJ had worse support for Gradle, the build sytem we use for our projects, and thus require extra configuration to work properly.
