Earlier quoted context omitted.

It just takes two check boxes to uncheck to disable that in IntelliJ. I agree it is disturbing that it is a default at first. But it is at least configurable.

Which version? It wasn't possible last time I checked and Jetbrains had close-no-fix on various related bug reports.

Last EAP version but it was there at least since last year.

Many use other languages on the JVM. Scala, Clojure, Kotlin etc. Besides the naked functionality, the language communities and cultures have their varying strengths. Eg quality of answers or libraries you easily find.

The years long constant stream of deserialization vulnerabilities, like yesterday's Spring RCE, are also largely absent from other JVM languages.

What’s the JDK version people use today? My company’s stack is still on java 8.

Most of our old services are still on 8, slowly migrating those to 11. Sometimes it's trivial, other times it's a pain.

Anything new is at least on 11 and 17 where possible.
