    It's not as bad as when you have to go back to using a HD-based computer at work after using your own which runs on an SSD...

    Eclipse is way better brother if you know how to tweak it's settings to suit your needs and coding style :)

    Everyone keeps telling me IntelliJ is great, what makes it better than Eclipse?

    @deusprogrammer the answer is. Everything :D Try it out yourself!

    @deusprogrammer It's personal preference i think. For me, i like that IntelliJ has sane defaults (Eclipse comes installed with font size 8, pom files open up in some shitty ass proprietary POM viewer, etc). Yes, all these things can be tweaked, but it's a pain. I mean what idiot from the Eclipse Foundation thought viewing maven POMs in their proprietary viewer was easier than just editing XML???

    IntelliJ also has more powerful refactoring than Eclipse (but I have to admit it's been a while since i've used Eclipse). IntelliJ also has really slick integration (Git, Spring, etc) and more.

    Would i pay for it out of pocket? I'm not really sure to be honest.

    Would i use it if my employer paid for it? Hell yes.

    @mzgaljic I got intellij with their student program and I think it's the only product am willing to pay for, tried both eclipse and intellij , I can say intellij is way better then eclipse in a sense that all it's features are coherent and integrated with each other where as with eclipse I kept getting crashes and felt that some functionalities where there because they were developed not because they were needed.

    @parag0 yeah, eclipse is open source. You could fork it and invest 69 years of your life to reverse engineer it into something which looks and acts like IntelliJ, but it's called MyEclipseFork. Then you add one new feature et voila it is better than IntelliJ.

    Could you do this with IntelliJ? Ha? Ha? Of course not, because it is not open source.

    When I first switched from Eclipse to IntelliJ, I thought, I will never switch the IDE again. I thought correctly. :p

    @deusprogrammer
    Then it's fine for you, although you'll never know if you won't try. I used many, starting with Borland and Visual Studio, JCreator, NetBeans, Sublime+plug-ins. I still prefer NetBeans and IntelliJ for Java. And think IntelliJ is the equivalent of Visual Studio in the Java World.

    I can understand that knowing well Eclipse and having many dependencies will make you think twice before switching. But that is OK, think twice, even three times but give it a try. Play with it for a while and see if it saves you time and headache. If not, you're one of those who like to do manually tweak that IntelliJ does automatically.

    The people over at JetBrains are awesome, they make such good quality IDEs. Love using their tools.

    I was excited when I got my programing job because I found out they used an IDE called RAD (rational application developer) ...turns out it's just IBM skinned eclipse with some IBM plug-ins...

    They also have a C# IDE called Rider (just got into Public beta) it's a nice alternative for MonoDevelop if you do C# dev under linux (yeah that IS possible) www.jetbrains.com/rider

    Intellij was the only IDe that didn't give me problems with initial setup. Pycharm was another one that was just smooth. Jetbrain rocks
