Intellij or Eclipse?

[MASk0]

What's the difference between them?
What's so different?
If i code something in eclipse, Can i code it that it does the same thing in intellij with the same codes?
What's the best to start with

I perfer Eclipse, But it's quite hard to switch development environments once you start cause the layout becomes different, And no, It's still the same code

IntelliJ is better from my POV. It has 10x better Maven Support, built-in git support, easy way to export jars, and has a build function for many libraries like maven, kotlin, etc. Personally, Eclipse is more used as a starter program for coding as it is showed in almost every tutorial and is really basic. But IntelliJ is much slower unless you have a decent computer, but has more features. It is more personal preference but I highly recommend IntelliJ. Also to answer your question Java code is Java code, Eclipse/IntelliJ is just a IDE.

IntelliJ all the way.

So here is a brief situation.
If you start a course for Java Development, but they ask you to use eclipse.
What's the best way? Follow that or start straight with Intellij?.[DOUBLEPOST=1505344237][/DOUBLEPOST]

What do you mean by layout? I haven't started yet. I'm a complete beginner at java development.

Try both! Personal Intellij is hands down my favorite because of it's advance ability's and looks but it's really whatever floats your boat. It doesn't really matter which one you use though, if you wanted to code in Notepad, you can. Also everyone keeps saying it's better to start on Eclipse, but I disagree. They are both amazing for starters and if you feel you would like Intellij more, go for it.

It doesn't matter what the instructor in the course is using. Both programs are going to work the exact same. IntelliJ is better in so many people's eyes but if you like to use Eclipse, Use it. At the end of the day. It all comes down to what you like better. I see programmers who have been coding for years but they still choose to use Eclipse. Nothing wrong with that. Of course, IntelliJ is faster, It has more features but they'll both let you do the same thing when it comes to Java. IntelliJ lets you do more than just code Java. You can use it to code websites also. IntelliJ. I started on Eclipse but 2 weeks after I saw what my friend was using. I switched to IntelliJ. It's one of those things, Use whatever you're comfortable with. That's like saying, Which one is better, Sketch or Adobe XD. Both are good programs for creating mockups. Use whichever one you're comfortable with using because they're both going to give you the same outcome.

For some reason, I tried both. And i just feel more comfortable with Eclipse.
I just can't seem to find out where to export the docs, plus packages and java classes seems totally different from Eclipse lol.

I have used before eclipse and got used to it, but intellij seems a bit more idk complicated?

The layout is basically the exact same for all basic features. But IntelliJ is a bit different then eclipse in the way it handles projects/modules.

I like both Eclipse and IntelliJ, and use whatever I'm in the mood for. My major issue with IntelliJ is that the key binds are terrible, since I started with Eclipse it's harder to adjust to IntelliJ key binds. Otherwise, I'd prefer IntelliJ.

IntelliJ does create lazy tendencies in my opinion but it does make your life 10 times easier. I personally learned on Eclipse and moved onto IntelliJ.

I've been using Eclipse for a while now and have come to personally love it. Like said previously it's hard to switch development software and I have but Eclipse gets the job done for free.
