Huh? I don't get this at all. IntelliJ is a phenomenally great IDE. I'm sure that is blinding me to the ugliness you're seeing. But thinking about just the visual elements, I still don't see your point. What exactly is the problem?
Now Eclipse -- that's ugly, inside and out.
- St-Clock 16y agoFont rendering is horrible (at least on linux), you have to try various l&f before finding one that is "acceptable", etc. It's a great IDE, general usability is certainly better than Eclipse (it was meant to be an IDE as opposed to Eclipse which is a platform with an IDE built on top), but personally, font rendering was a deal break.
- michaelneale 16y agoThankfully that bit is fine on a mac. And really - that is 90% of it there - the rest is a distraction. Their icons are, well, tasteless is the best way to describe them. I know people don't often talk about usability and developer tools - but it really really matters. You spend a LOT of time on it - may as well fuss over it and make it right. IDEA gets so much right.... and this is also a good example of when user experience can be great, but design (graphic) not so great.
