IntelliJ is nice, but why is it so slow and buggy? At work me and all the developers are always cursing at IntelliJ. Each of has to restart it around 3-4 times a day. We use Scala, so that might be the problem though.
- bobofatman 8y agoYou should probably give intelliJ more ram. By default it's less than 1 gb. I gave it 4gb and I haven't had any issues since.
- buster 8y agoI've used it intensively for Java, Python and even Rust and due to suspending my laptop i probably only restart IntelliJ every few weeks. I've noticed that sometimes plugins can be a problem. The Help->Show Logs Menu can be quite helpful. I've had a plugin leading to a lot of freezes of IntelliJ and the threadDumps immediately showed where the problem was. Another nice feature (logging thread dumps when the IDE freezes).
