> Intellij was released in 2001. Eclipse was a close competitor for a while, which made no sense to me. Intellij just worked, and it was intuitive. I found Eclipse to be uglier, slower, flakier, crashier, and far less intuitive. Haven't heard of it in years. Eclipse is still in use. And don't let the above scare you: it is not as beginner friendly as VS Code or Netbeans but it is a walk in the park compared to learning emacs or vim from scratch. It is just different, and if you come frome a file-centric and line centric workflow you should probably just as well get used to thinking about classes, functions interfaces etc: i.e. don't think "I'll open this file, look for that line", instead you jump to a class or a function or even better just go to the implementation of the function you are looking at. It just works. And you mostly don't cut, paste and update manually, you just ask eclipse to move it and then verify it in the scm commit view before you commit: "Moved x to y to make z possible"
