1. proper and fast automcompletion 2. source lookup (back and forth). Now when you do source lookup, it should be integrated properly with language quirks like virtual-env in python 3. proper and standard keyboard shortcuts ( NOT like intellij) 4. Good vim support update: 5. cross-domain support. e.g if you're full stack developer and use rails as backend, IDE should support both rails and front-end stack. Basically front-end stack is mandatory these days for web framewoks. 6. project wise search 7. file search. Intellij has done lot of good work. 1. but they utterly fails in keyboard shortcuts (which are not consistent with other tools like browser) 2. their IDEs are in java and damn slow 3. very poor cross-domain support. now this is complicated because of complexity of modern programming. If you guys are planning on any IDE, ping me. Will glad to help.

What about shortcut templates/snippets? Do you use these?

  Not much except UI work. Whenever start new projects, boiler-plate skeleton can be used. Something like cookicutter. But it can be as add-on. Not built-in.

  I mean something like ctags. So it is easy to look into source of libraries.

      Some of these features might be solved by VSCode + extension. Have you tried it? We're not building new IDE but trying to improve some workflows that happen often in programmer's workflow. Focused on web development for now.

        I did try but I like more intellij. Quirks I mentioned are important for my workflow.

It has a been a long time since i had to fiddle with idea64.vmoptions to improve performance. Android-Studio built on the same base, OTOH, is a drag.
