Most Intellij IDEA users (including myself) are former Eclipse users. Could I go back to Eclipse? Sure, but I wouldn't be as productive with it as I am using Intellij. I found myself fighting the UI and configuration way more with Eclipse than I have with Intellij. This might not be an issue if using 1-2 programming languages, but if using more than that, it gets pretty tedious in Eclipse.
Used Eclipse for 3-4 years when I was a student before discovering Intellij. Haven't gone back to Eclipse since then other than just testing once or twice a year.
- chii 11y agoi have the exact same experience. Used to use vim as my editor for doing coding excercises for classes - switched to eclipse for bigger class projects. Started working, and got a chance to try out intellij (when it was at intellij 7!), and was blown away at the order of magitude productivity increase (which, i had to put some effort learning a lot of the shortcut keys, but was well worth it). Now, when i use eclipse (e.g., conducting a job interview with a candidate), i find it's UI strange, lack of ease of navigation really off putting.
