IdeaVim [0], a free plugin, is the best vim emulator I've ever used. [0] https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim
I agree. IdeaVim is the best Vim emulator I've used as well. However, it is still just an emulator and it lacks some Vim features that I use all the time. IdeaVim is very good, but not as good as having NeoVim embedded would be, I think.

That's not unusual for any app based on the JVM.
Reminds me of the time I installed Visual Studio 2015. That pig sprayed over 30 GB of files onto my HDD and still needed 3rd party plugins to be on the same level as IntelliJ.

#43I really like the IntelliJ products (especially PHPStorm with the Symfony2 plugins, PyCharm, etc) but you really need a 'beefy' computer to run it properly. SSDs are a must.
To speed up IntelliJ products, immediately open Settings -> Directories and exclude all unnecessary folders. Otherwise a crawler background process will indexes every file, and it consumes a lot of CPU and IO resources.

Got any more detailed instructions for this? I'm running the OSX version of IntelliJ, I can't see this option anywhere
Depending on the product version the settings dialog is a bit different: https://www.google.com/#q=intellij+exclude+folders

#45Does anyone know if there was some relationship between Jetbrains & Netbeans? Netbeans started as Xelfi in Prague mid 90s. Jetbrains is also based in Prague. A friend of mine started Xelfi -- I'm trying to figure out how awesome my friend is.

#46Call me old, but I still use eclipse even for android programming (using the ADT plugin). Every IDE has pros/cons, and both eclipse and intellij have their shares, but if you consider the big picture, they mostly even out. In fact, I would rather argue that the features on which intellij rules are of superficial nature and have more to do with a "nice feel" (such as more friendly code-completion or better looking gra…
Ironically enough I finally caved and bought a sublime text license a few months ago but since then I've learned vim and mostly use that now.

#48As someone who is about to heavily start using the Cursive IDE (built on top of IntelliJ IDEA), this is wonderful news. Coming from a frontend web dev background, Java 6 has been a layer of slime at the bottom of the barrel of sweet wine that is Clojure. Now, as soon as Minecraft gets off Java 6, I can rid my system of that infernal scourge. https://cursive-ide.com
Have you upgraded to the new Minecraft launcher? It bundles its own JRE, and I'm pretty sure it's Java 7.

Used Eclipse for 3-4 years when I was a student before discovering Intellij. Haven't gone back to Eclipse since then other than just testing once or twice a year.
