Pros and cons

“I love that you can use a free version that’s extremely capable and buy the paid for version for some extra useful features and integration with other services and software like databases.”

Osher S.

Software developer

“It makes the whole process a delight for developers that don't have to care about integrating this tool with some others like builders or version controllers. All is already included here.”

José Luis C.

Android Developer

“Jet Brains makes wonderful IDEs as it is, but IntelliJ IDEA is the best one I've used of theirs and on top of that, its the best IDE for Java that I've used.”

Chase B.

Software Developer

“I commonly have problems with lag if the program has different aspects that make it heavy. Other than that, there’s not much I don’t like.”

Verified reviewer
