May be utilize the AI to analyze what a user is doing and suggest better ways to acheive the same with in the tool. > > Amazing\!\!\!\! I was an "Eclipse lover" before using Intellij... Cannot go back to any other tool now. You won me Intellij. :) ----- ### "Best IDE for Java/Spring Boot development" — 5.0/5 > **Eric** | *8 February 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Still the best Java/Spring Boot IDE available. Mature with a vast ecosystem of plugins available. > > **Cons**: Can be a bit more resource hungry and slower than other IDEs eg. VS code. ----- ### "Coding Rocket" — 5.0/5 > **Lucas** | *5 May 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: IntelliJ autocompletes like a champ, refactors on click. Built‑in git, plugins by the bucket > > **Cons**: But it guzzles RAM on beefy projects and that licence fee is nowhere near pocket‑money levels > > Been tinkering with IntelliJ for yonks, it's a solid wizard spinning Java builds before coffee ----- ### "The ultimate IDE for professional software development" — 5.0/5 > **Enguerran** | *13 May 2026* | Sporting Goods | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The smart code completion and refactoring tools are light years ahead of the competition. The system explains everything according to my project needs because it performs complete project understanding. The system includes both integrated debugger tools and Git handling capabilities which function at a high level of excellence. > > **Cons**: The process demands significant resources with particular focus on consuming RAM. The system experiences performance issues during handling of extremely large microservices architectures. The initial indexing process needs time to complete during the first time application launch. > > My main integrated development environment for professional work is IntelliJ IDEA. The software helps me work more efficiently through its various keyboard shortcuts and extensive built-in functionality. The software provides high-quality value because its features become essential after users learn them. ----- ### "The Rolls-Royce of IDE's" — 5.0/5 > **Ozzie** | *11 December 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The versatility and speed are my favorite features of IDEA. Hands down one of the best, most feature rich IDE's I have ever had the pleasure of using. JetBrains really knows their customer and it shows. > > **Cons**: There's no complaints other than I wish it were free, but if it were I doubt the product would be the same. > > My experience is much like others have said, JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA is the best IDE period. JetBrains knows their customer base and their suite of IDE's and developer tools proves this. ----- Page: 1 / 52\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/136010/intellij-idea?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/136010/intellij-idea) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
