#112I love Datagrip. I started using it last year and never went back. It works on both Linux and Windows with no issues.

#113Jetbrains 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 think IntelliJ is an exceptionally good software.

#114It’s hard for me to praise Jetbrains, every time I start using Idea I have amazing experience, I feel like it’s totally one of the best IDEs out there and then couple days and non-trivial plugins later I have noticeable lags when typing text . I immediately give up and switch back to my previous setup. Why can’t IDEs prioritize reducing typing latency? That’s like one of the most important parts of text editing. Anyb…
I agree. It's sluggish and very resource hungry. It runs on the JVM and it shows. I've switched to VS Code, also for Java coding.

#115Earlier quoted context omitted.
I came to say this. That $270M revenue is backed by a #1 product line. I first tried PHPStorm back in 2014 after I got tired of the wonky debugging capability in Eclipse. I still think Eclipse is a really important project in the way that JetBrains is the Google of IDEs and Eclipse is maybe the Firefox, and we need Firefoxes.
Man why you gotta do Firefox dirty like that? Firefox is absolutely the best browser IMO. Unlike Eclipse, which is acceptable but doesn’t hold a candle to JetBrains.
> Unlike Eclipse, which is acceptable
That's a nice way of saying it's a trash fire.

#116They are registered in Prague, but it's mostly Russian company. Depending on your line of business, this may or may not be an issue.
Do you have some proof? Otherwise it seems you are just posting to cause controversy. I feel this goes against a lot of the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html edit: my apologies for the assumptions and most likely breaking the guidelines myself
They are very open about it and I don't see any problem with it. You could find some issues with them running a cloud software like that, but given that they primarily produce tools that are largely open source it is not a problem in my mind.
Here is an article about their operations in Prague (in czech), from what I understand they have most of developers in St petesburgh..

#117I 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.

That's IntelliJ IDEA.
Though it seems completely unnecessary, PyCharm (non-CE) should contain all the features of WebStorm (sometimes with a bit of lag).

#118I really like IntelliJ and recommend everyone try them even if my favorites are NetBeans, Eclipse and VS Code. This seems to be just some weird preference that my brain has and since Jetbrains is such a nice company and has a sustainable funding model I'm happy to send people their way
For me its because they do a really good job of keeping the UI snappy and responsive. This is pretty impressive considering:
1) Its a java app
2) Continuously running compilers/interpreters in the background
3) Running builds and tests can be bursty and its pretty good about not hanging when that happens.

I use Jetbrains products for everything at work. I don't know what's going to happen if I ever have to work at an Eclipse shop. Might have to turn it down, honestly.

But java isn’t slow and sluggishness is definitely not only due to GC pauses. It’s all about input handling subsystem.
