I still use Eclipse and have no complaints. If IntelliJ was a one time payment, I might give it a try, but I really dislike being bound to a thing with recurring costs.
I've used IntelliJ for a JavaScript project and in the form of AndroidStudio, but I don't remember anything so extraordinary that it would compel me to switch.

- inglor_cz 6y agoI am not in any sense affiliated with IntelliJ. I also resent recurring costs. But I am willing to throw ;-) an exception with them, because their development cycle is fairly strong and fast, so you get meaningful updates even during a single year.

The subscription is only needed if you want to update to a newer version. https://sales.jetbrains.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207240845-What-is-a-perpetual-fallback-license- https://sales.jetbrains.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207240845-What...
