Startup time is bad, yes, but I think it’s a reasonable trade off for the features I get and plus I tend to launch it once and then open files with the command line tools, which is basically instant. Granted I’m spoiled on my personal machine with a six core i7, 16GB RAM, and an NVMe SSD.

I also have 16GB RAM and a fast SSD, but I'm on a 2-core MacBook processor. I find that with all of the various different projects I have to interact with in a day (I'm the tech lead at my company) I can't leave an IntelliJ-based IDE open without it slowing the rest of computer down to the point that it's impacting my productivity.
