I use IntelliJ now and I definitely miss this feature of Eclipse.

  Why? What did you miss about it? I'm asking as I prefer strict compilers that force me to handle all cases.

    Generally, it's a very pragmatic thing like being able to quickly run something to make sure it's working but some other part of the code is temporarily broken because I'm currently changing things and don't care that that part is currently broken. In IntelliJ I have to stop doing what I'm currently thinking about and go over to that other part of the code and comment out some things or otherwise fix it up (usually in a way that won't be permanent because it's broken for a reason) before I can run the code I'm working on. In an ideal world, the codebase would be modular and testable and all those good things but I work in a large enterprise dev team and some of the codebase is many (many) years old and it's no longer feasible to refactor it into anything like what would be needed to allow the code to be modularized in such a way that would obviate the necessity to do the above.

    I don't think they want to have thing broken in the steady state, but anything that relies on things building for analysis etc.,. Could benefit from this.
