I'm not a Java developer, so I'm interested to know what the amazing parts of IntelliJ are. When I look at it it just looks like they ripped off the skin from Sublime Text and it has some debugging features that are readily available in other editors. I get pretty much everything on https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/whatsnew/ https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/whatsnew/ in my vim setup.
- sdegutis 10y agoAll the refactorings and context-aware code completion, for starters. And as for ripping off, IntelliJ came out 7 years before Sublime Text.
- javajavaj 10y agoCool, show me a screenshot from, say, 5 years ago that looks like Sublime? From what I can see it looks something like this: https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2011/10/new-in-intellij-idea-11-preview-of-android-ui-layouts/ https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2011/10/new-in-intellij-idea... I didn't say features, I said skin. Of course IntelliJ has been around longer. If you like an IDE that's cool, no hate. I just get frustrated with the idea that I need one to be productive in certain languages. Give me Go and vim, maybe inside tmux, and I'll be productive immediately.
