I honestly do not experience any of Jetbrains' products as enterprise Java IDEs. To me, they are very well thought out tools to fluently automate menial tasks of development, quickly navigate context and structure, and "know what I mean" and take care of bookkeeping when I wish to shape code by refactoring by virtue of Jetbrains' very high capacity for writing powerful language parser and introspection and couple it with a powerful user interface with only a relatively mild learning curve. So yes, I do strongly believe that students will benefit from using Jetbrains' tools to get to the core of programming - as part of a balanced and supervised diet of ideas from very low abstraction to high.
I see no use in burdening students with feeding little text files to compilers, pushing the semicolon button, gardening header files, or cranking package manager handles.
