Please don't turn this thread into an IDE war.

I use IntelliJ for all of my projects, I personally can't stand Eclipse.

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

When it's something like just a command, i'd rather use eclipse, as it is easier(imo) to set up.

But for larger projects i always use intellij.

and for video-game programming i use NetBeans.
I've never actually used Netbeans, on a scale of 1-10 how difficult is it to setup a development workspace? Out of curiosity, I want to tag the following developers to see their working preference: Skionz, Tripps, Mat

Since I haven't touched anything other than Eclipse I can't really say much on this topic besides that I use Eclipse :)

I use both it really depends. If I am using more dependencies I'll go with IntelliJ. Small projects I use Eclipse.

Eclipse, mainly because this is how I compare Java IDE's, using simple code:

Code:
# Setting Variables
Eclipse = Samsung
IntelliJ = Apple
Netbeans = Nokia

# Comparing
Samsung > Apple
(Eclipse > IntelliJ)

Nokia > Apple
(Netbeans > IntelliJ)

Samsung > Nokia
(Eclipse > Netbeans)

And I hate Apple, and love Samsung
Great comparisons to what is kind of true, I don't like apple because of the overpricing. I like Samsung because I have always used android phones and I could never get my head around an apple phone.

I use intelliJ, and can't really imagine using anything else. - As someone stated above me, comparing intelliJ to Apple, its farily accurate, Apple has the quality that no one else has (I'll leave Apple there).

When I first started development I used Eclipse (of course).
I tried NetBeans for a short while at some point (it never gave me a reason to use it over Eclipse, although I didn't use it for long so I can't say much for it).J
Around a year ago a good (real life, programmer) friend of mine was urging me to use intelliJ, and (like Mat said above) I planned to move to intelliJ once I had finished the project I was working on at the time.
It didn't take me long to realize I should of left eclipse a long time ago.
And I have used intelliJ ever since.

intelliJ is definitely a better IDE than Eclipse imo, with various simple things like auto suggest/complete (whatever its called, that means I don't have to complete any of the words/variables I type lol (boo + [enter] = boolean, seriously thats like 4 letters saved and it adds up)).

Although intelliJ is a little more difficult/confusing to setup than Eclipse, its 10x easier to use once done.

This is the part where I was going to say what I liked about Eclipse, although I can't remember what it was. I'm sure I remember it having something that intelliJ didn't that I enjoyed, however whatever it was it obviously doesn't compete with the benefits intelliJ has.

Damn, this wasn't intended to be some sort of
Its just my opinion.
