It has become an industry standard for Java programmers > > **Cons**: IntelliJ IDEA doesn't have as many plugin options compared to other similar software. The customization might be a little strict for some people. > > IntelliJ IDEA is the best choice when you mainly code in Java environments. There's no other IDE that is better than this. ----- ### "Jetbrains Tools make me 10x the developer I am" — 5.0/5 > **Dylan** | *11 December 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that it indexes your entire project, so that intellisense actually suggests methods that exist and make sense rather than fuzzy matching like other IDEs do. > > **Cons**: It is expensive. If you're a developer that has to pay for these tools personally instead of paid for by a company, it's a tough pill to swallow, but very worth it. > > IDEA is like going from using hand tools to using power tools for the first time. It's a learning curve, but when you see what you can achieve with it, you wonder how you ever wrote code without it. ----- ### "IntelliJ review for beginners" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *30 May 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is my day one favourite IDE to write code in java because it has built in functions that helps me simplify my code writing. > > **Cons**: It should allow me to integrate more plugins like visual studio code does and allow me to customise my ide design more deeply. ----- ### "The ultimate IDE for devs" — 5.0/5 > **Samuel Isaí** | *15 August 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The awesome GUI and all lenguages and frameworks that supports, It made my coding experience nicer and faster > > **Cons**: Performance would be a weak point as the size that takes from the disk and memory. A lite version would be wonderful > > It was nice and comfortable, I felt myself more productive ----- ### "IntelliJ IDEA Review" — 5.0/5 > **Wasif** | *8 January 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Clean GUI, fast search and debugging. Build-in features so that you dont have to install extra stuff for development. > > **Cons**: More free addons should be available in the store for it > > Its amazing. I am a daily user of it and would highly recommend it to developers. ----- Page: 1 / 52\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/207805/intellij-idea?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/207805/intellij-idea) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
