It's perfectly possible and in fact quite pleasant to work with intellij inside google. At least for JVM languages. Disclaimer: I work for google

  Wait, I remember Google gave up supporting IntelliJ around 2011, leaving only one full-featured IDE, Eclipse, as the only option. Did it change since 2011?

    Support is still there in some way, Bazel support being officially integrated is probably a good external indicator. The Perforce plugin is Piper compatible, and works really well.

    That reversed in ~2016. Because Android Studio was based on IntelliJ and heavily staffed (including Blaze support for development of Google's own Android apps), TPTB decided that they should put their weight behind IntelliJ instead of Eclipse. Official internal support for Eclipse was discontinued and the Eclipse team was disbanded.
