IDEA is phenomenal. Netbeans is just OK, and Eclipse was awful all the times I tried it. Bloated UI, slow startup, and difficult to configure. Maybe things have changed since I've used it, but at the time, it was agonizing.
- nradov 9y agoThe current version of Eclipse is quite fast even when dealing with large code bases. Configuration is easy; there are a zillion options under preferences but the search filter makes it easy to find what you need. Startup times are irrelevant. Start the IDE once when you boot the OS and leave it running. It consumes minimal system resources just sitting there until you need it.
