I love IntelliJ but I am constantly switching between PyCharm and WebStorm, which is quite annoying since I end up doing python and javascript in both. I wish they one modular product instead of many, many slightly different products. Edit: I'm learning in the comments below that IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate gives you the capabilities of the other products all together. This sounds great! I'm going to try it.

Are PyCharm and WebStorm different from the other JetBrains products? Usually the products are nothing more than a collection of IntelliJ Ultimate plugins that are packaged up and sold separately. In other words, what you want to buy is Ultimate.

I am a big fan of Intellij. But the single most feature I hate about their products is keyboard shortcuts. If they follow standard unix shortcuts along with standard browser shortcuts, it will be more productive.

File -> Settings -> Keymap -> Configure

Jetbrains products are awesome though. I used to use a heavily customized vim which was a pretty good setup, but the things a jetbrains ide can do are just much better than what my custom setup could do. I pay for a personal subscription and couldn't be happier. I will recommend everyone to atleast give their products a try. They have a free trial period.

I recently went ahead and purchased theyr3 full product line, because I figured there are several I would end up wanting to use and it was just cheaper that way. The reason I bought it though, was specifically for CLion. I figured having a full featured IDE would make it much easier to browse and understand large C or C++ projects, but sadly it seems to only support CMake projects.

This minimal cmake file should setup the ide for any project, the build will have to be ran externally though. You can setup the ide to debug external binaries as well, as long as it has source information (was built from the current project sources with debug info).

  cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)
  project(prog)

  include_directories(.)
  file(GLOB_RECURSE sources *.h *.cpp *.c *.hpp)

  add_executable(prog main.c)
variables might have to be tweaked a bit.

I purchased the whole product line as I think Jetbrain's product is excellent, the only complain from me is this CLion Cmake requirement, could be more versatile, and supports non-Cmake projects(or even single files without makefiles), even Geany does better than CLion as far as c/c++ is concerned. Please make CLion better for C/C++

I want to like JetBrains and paid for an ultimate subscription for years, but this four-year-old bug renders their products pretty much unusable on macs with a 5k display: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-526 . Thus, I've canceled my subscription and moved to vscode for most development.

If you're wondering, the "6M users / 405k customers" comes from the Community editions of PyCharm and IntellJ (maybe also Android Studio) and their free-for-students offer[0] ( which I would imagine is a big part of getting companies who hire college grads to license JB products). 0: https://www.jetbrains.com/student/

Does Google pay them to keep Android Studio free?

PyCharm includes all of the features of WebStorm because it's so common for Python developers to also do JS work, so you probably should just be using PyCharm. That's what I do at my work. (It's also why PyCharm is more expensive than WebStorm.)

If you find that WebStorm works better, you probably need to install the node.js plugin in PyCharm (which is free). It's included by default in WebStorm but not in PyCharm.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's been the default GC since Java 9 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage-first_collector

Ah, I'm confusing its availability with Shenandoah and zgc. Unfortunately, the last time I used IntelliiJ it came with its own JDK8. Is that still the case, I wonder?

I just ran an update, IDEA and PyCharm use OpenJDK 11, Android Studio still uses 1.8.
