Did they stop? I still use IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate for most languages (Go, Java, Rust, JavaScript/TypeScript). I had to use Rider for C#, AppCode for Swift, and CLion for C/C++, but those are the only special cases afaik, or are those languages the ones you use & have problems with?
The plugin updates are sometimes a bit behind the dedicated IDEs in terms of feature releases which is annoying but I think you can often download an EAP build to get around that.
- chrsig 4y agoI've been under the impression that there are significant capability differences between any of the plugins and the corresponding product I mainly use goland & clion, and clion definitely doens't have an equivalent plugin. It's been a long time since I've tried to use intellij though, so perhaps my impressions are antiquated.
- shepherdjerred 4y agoYou're right that you'd have to use clion for C/C++. I'm not sure why they don't have plugins for that. As far as Go, I've had a great experience with the Go plugin for IntelliJ. You do need the ultimate license for that though, iirc.
