I'm happy with IntelliJ (>9 years of ~daily use), but if there are long-term users of Eclipse here who are familiar with both and prefer it to IntelliJ, I'd be interested to hear why.
- MattPalmer1086 6y agoI'd also be interested to hear this. I used to love Eclipse, but really didn't like the workspaces concept and endless wrangling with plugins that frequently broke something on minor updates. I moved to intellij because the simple things I needed just worked out of the box, and I mostly find it great. But I'd still like to hear from someone with a different take on it .
- legerdemain 6y agoI haven't had to bother with workspace stuff in years because of Gradle. I know that not everyone uses Gradle, but it gives you an equivalent of `cargo init` or `npm init` to initialize an Eclipse or Intellij project in any filesystem location.

- gui77aume 6y agoI now use IntelliJ (CE) but: - Eclipse type hierarchy view (and quick view) was nice - Google-Java-Format plugin integration was better - The default color scheme of Eclipse was better (not sure why but I can't use a dark theme with Java) But Eclipse had too much strange behaviors where I had to restart it and IntelliJ has those warnings/suggestion about code quality and better auto-completion IMO.
- MattPalmer1086 6y agoYes! The type hierarchy view was great, forgotten about that.
