Intellij IDEs are notorious memory and CPU hogs. I can't recall a single time where I opened up Intellij and didn't feel any sluggishness or stutter. It's like a huge excavator that does the job, but in such inelegant way that it kills all the joy when you use it.
VSCode/VSCodium with focused extension fly compared to any Intellij IDE.
- skydhash 1y agoCode indexing and static analysis are not cheap. Which is what you usually want in an IDE.
- tehbeard 1y agoI've had phpstorm get stuck indexing until I shut the app down, no matter what Stack overflow voodoo I tried to break the cycle. Vscode and intelephense handled the same project without breaking a sweat. I've had much better experience with IntelliJ. No matter the maven or gradle project I've thrown at it, it just works.
