That has nothing to do with the JVM. It's simply a result of it being a very feature-rich IDE.
It may. Java io stack is quite bad at certain tasks like crawling files and tracking changes.
Call 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…
Eclipse is not what I would call the paramount of performance.

IdeaVim [0], a free plugin, is the best vim emulator I've ever used. [0] https://github.com/JetBrains/ideavim
Seconded. IdeaVim is incredible. It's been close to 1:1 parity with the vim features I need.

I, too, wish we hadn't switched from Eclipse ADT to Android Studio. It's unfathomable to me how anybody can claim IntelliJ feels faster.

On my experience, the blame is more between chair, keyboard and monitor than with JVM itself, given the typical codebases I have to review for quality issues.

It just ruins Command+C and Command+V for me. Yes, I understand I can go into visual mode and use 'y' and 'p' but what if I want to paste from the system clipboard rather than the IdeaVim clipboard? Command+V simply just doesn't work and 'p' obviously contains the IdeaVim clipboard buffer.
set clipboard+=unnamed
That sets IdeaVim to use the system clipboard by default. However, this has the same effects as making vim use the system clipboard by default: for example, executing ci" will pull the text between the quotes onto the system clipboard, overwriting whatever is there. Personally I prefer this behaviour in vim, emacs (with Evil, obviously), and IdeaVim though. YMMV, but it is possible!
Does 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.
I 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

I primarily write Java in my professional life, using IntelliJ Ultimate Edition. I have to do so on a MacBook Pro with SSD to be productive.
Lately I primarily write Go in my personal life. I use the free IntelliJ Community Edition (with Go plugin only) on all my devices. On a CHROMEBOOK with 2 GB of RAM running Crouton, my experience with Community Edition is almost as snappy as my 16 GB MacBook experience with Ultimate Edition.
You can radically speed up your IntelliJ environment by being more judicious in which plugins you enable. Quite honestly, lately I've wondered why I bother with Ultimate Edition at all... since the only non-free plugins I really use are for HTML and JavaScript support (and even those only rarely). If my company wants to pay for an Ultimate license and a MacBook on which to run it, then I'll gladly use them... but if it were my money I'd probably just stick to Community Edition for my needs.
