FWIW, I am a professional coder, and find Eclipse bewildering.

  Same. Seriously, it's a fantastic example of "user interface designed by an engineer". It's not that I don't understand how to use Eclipse - sadly, it's an editor I have spent all too much time working with in various incarnations/skins. It's incredibly powerful and extensible (which unfortunately leads to it being used as a base for further IDEs built on top of it), it's just incredibly painful and unintuitive to use. You can do literally anything, it'll just be buried five menus deep inside some control panel. Today I fired up Android Studio for the first time, and I literally cracked a smile and did a fistpump when I saw IntelliJ staring back at me instead of fucking Eclipse.

    Android Studio has been the reason I've made $200+ of JetBrains purchases for personal use. I hope it's working out well for them.

      Another vote of confidence for JetBrains here. Making the jump from Eclipse to phpStorm for Magento development was worth every single penny!
