Problem highlighting is hard to see (at least with the dark theme). Missing a semicolon? Look for dark red squiggle under one character or a thin red line in the gutter. My biggest gripe is the multi project support.
JGRASP THEMES WINDOWS
I have to open completely separate IDE windows to load different projects. I work on a system with about 100 projects in different repos and often need to open several projects at the same time.

You may enjoy intellij, and gotten used to their style, while I prefer netbeans - however, they both function the same and I have developed 'a lot' of plugins using netbeans.To be fair, I have by far and away the most experience with Eclipse and use it daily. I have tried the different themes and moved things around, but it just doesn't give me a feel of a good work environment. When I said intellij was 'too' techy - I was referring to the way it feels - the layout and theme just make everything looks too bland, and that throws me off when I try reading. I tried out both, they had all the same features however, netbeans (to me atleast) has an easier startup interface and usability over intellij

then I got intellij and netbeans about 3 years ago, because they were both recommended to me over eclipse. net based languages, c++, and web programming. from 10th grade until after graduation I didn't work on java much - I worked on. I have used jgrasp in 9th grade and 10th grade. Just give IntelliJ a month, and if by that time you haven't gotten used to it, NetBeans will always be there for you to return to.Ĭlick to expand.I have intellij on my computer (it's even in the picture above). I know you probably have been using NetBeans since school or wherever else you learned to develop, but that doesn't mean it's the best. So don't say anything bad about IntelliJ or Eclipse without even knowing the first thing about them. I would say this is one thing that sets Intellij apart and is exactly why I consider it the best. It's especially helpful if you're working on someone's old code, and they're not the *ahem* best.
JGRASP THEMES CODE
Inspections inspect the code for faults, problems, and certain coding standards. Inspections are a great tool for developers, especially newer ones, but it can help even experienced developers alike. I should also explain Inspections which I mentioned earlier. Of course, they're all IDE's, but if you could shave off 10 minutes of development time average daily, you're going to be saving a lot more time in the long run. Once you get use to something, it's hard to let go and try something new, but honestly the world keeps changing, and you should always try new things. it's much simpler to begin using for a first-time developer though, and that's why I still think it attracts people. It has everything readily available and working, but it's not the best at how those features are used (hotkeys for example).

IntelliJ even offers more flexibility in their positions and usage of each component, meaning if you don't like the way everything is you can move things around! So even if you don't like their layout, you can change it to something completely different more accustomed to you.Įclipse is horrible for development, I don't think they were planning ahead when they designed it. The layout of the components is almost exactly the same, but with fewer components/buttons, so I can't see how it's being called cluttered. All the features Intellij has is fully functional without any obvious bugs, in fact, I've never noticed a bug except in the Inspections (Something no other IDE has that I'm aware of) and those aren't even necessary. Intellij isn't too techy, it just uses different types of components and a different look and feel. Click to expand.I just feel like I need to say something against this because I don't think anyone should ever be using NetBeans to develop.
