My day job and most of my time is spent writing C/C++ code, so I'm usually working in vim. But IntelliJ is really, really good.
The auto-completion is so phenomenal in IntelliJ, you'll be tempted to learn Java just to use it. Yes, that's fairly hyperbolic, but after using IntelliJ, I just can't ever go back to Eclipse or any other Java IDE.
The ability to edit programs while they were running and then see the changes nearly instantaneously after saving without restarting the program was fantastic. (Worked just as well as Eclipse's after a few tweaks.)
What I'm really looking forward to is what they do with C/C++ and possibly Go some day.
IntelliJ is worth every penny if you write Java code; don't doubt it for a moment. Download the trial and use it if you find that hard to believe.

- tieTYT 13y ago> The ability to edit programs while they were running and then see the changes nearly instantaneously after saving without restarting the program was fantastic. This feature is news to me. That is, unless you're talking about using it with the jrebel plugin (and intellij can't really take credit for that). If this is not what you're referring to, do you have a link where I can learn more?
- binarycrusader 13y agoSure: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/reloading-classes.html http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/reloading-classes.html Mind you it's limited to the built-in method swapping that the JVM offers. But you can get more; see also: http://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2013/07/get-true-hot-swap-in-java-with-dcevm-and-intellij-idea/ http://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2013/07/get-true-hot-swap-in-... It was more than sufficient for my needs.
