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. ----- ### "All-around great IDE for software development" — 5.0/5 > **Chuck** | *30 August 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love all the plugins available to the IDE and how well they enhance the interface. IntelliJ IDEA also performs very well as I very rarely have any times where I need to wait long for it to keep up with code changes. > > **Cons**: The only thing that really has bugged me with IntelliJ IDEA is how it does not seem to handle system shutdown well. Even with all files saved, I must close the application in order to shutdown or restart my computer. > > Overall, IntelliJ IDEA is a great tool. I use it mainly for Scala development but it handles C\# code well also. The syntax highlighting is great\! The integrated tools that I can open in various windows are very helpful. I also like the AI assistant that can help with code development and debugging. ----- ### "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 best for software developers" — 5.0/5 > **Christine** | *13 March 2025* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: IntelliJ IDEA is the best development platform due to its integrated artificial intelligence, support for multiple languages and technologies, advanced refactoring tools, and its intuitive and customizable interface. It is a versatile tool that enhances productivity and code quality. > > **Cons**: I have no negative comments to point out about this platform. > > IntelliJ IDEA has been a fundamental tool for our development team. Since its implementation, we have experienced significant improvements in productivity, code quality, and operational efficiency. ----- ### "Honest User Review of Intellij" — 5.0/5 > **Preeti** | *24 June 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The easy to use interface and also the tour guide which helps to understand the working of the app. Other than that the ability to link Github and other code sharing platform makes it even better. The automatic spelling correction feature works great. The possible suggestions to resolve any error is also a great feature. > > **Cons**: It does not provide the option to open the same project in two different windows which is a drawback for me. > > My overall experience with Intellij IDEA has been really good. I have been a long time user of Intellij IDEA now and I can tell from my experience that it is a great application. The recent addition of incorporating AI copilot makes the app even better. ----- 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
