That’s absolutely wrong. The only thing that you’ll notice in IDEA is that it makes certain assumptions about Java (e.g vocabulary and certain menu items are Java-related), but otherwise the functionality is the same.
- zo1 7y agoPython support inside IDEA is not the same as Pycharm, please don't confuse people. If you want to do Python development, use PyCharm. For Java, use IDEA.
- heavenlyblue 7y agoI have used IDEA for 4 years doing Python development. Now I am using PyCharm, where the only difference is that it doesn’t support multi-module projects. Please specify the differences as I am seeing none.
- modernerd 7y agoThe language specific apps also seem to get updated before the language plugins do. I used to use IntelliJ Ultimate, and had to wait a while before getting new features announced for PhpStorm, for example. I now just use PhpStorm for PHP and GoLand for Go, instead of attempting to use IntelliJ for all languages. I spend less time configuring IntelliJ for each language and get updates on release day. JetBrains has an "everything" licence that I was able to migrate to from IntelliJ Ultimate.
- heavenlyblue 7y agoNot if you’re using the nightly (EAP) IDEA, however. I have used IDEA and PyCharm for enough time to say there’s 0 difference between the two.
- mthoms 7y agoActually, you're wrong. There are indeed plenty of features that are specific to each IDE/Language that aren't in the IDEA-equivalent plugins.
- heavenlyblue 7y agoWould you mind listing these differences? I have used idea for 4 years and PyCharm for a year.
