This is probably the most important piece of advice I would give someone getting started. I run OS X and at least for me Eclipse was a constant source of pain.

This is probably the most important piece of advice I would give someone getting started. I run OS X and at least for me Eclipse was a constant source of pain. IntelliJ looks better, runs faster, is more stable, and has all of the important refactorings bound to shortcuts - something you have to do manually for most refactorings in Eclipse, which is a pain because of conflicts.
In my opinion, if you're a newbie just use IntelliJ.
- keithba 15y agoAbsolutely agree here. I've ran into some issues occasionally with IntelliJ when reading an Eclipse tutorial and translating Eclipse concepts into IntelliJ concepts (especially around libraries and unit testing), but otherwise, I find IntelliJ much better and would have preferred I had started there.
