Eclipse and NetBeans are cool and getting better, but Intellij IDEA is still the best Java IDE – fast, innovative, wildly usable, and JetBrains will give you a license to use it on established open-source projects. Awesome product.

Yes it’s true, all the smartest developers and consultants I know use IntelliJ and and they just get done sooner with less effort. It continually surprises and gratifies me every time I use it. Each version adds more truly useful features, many of which are not advertised as such in bullet points, but speak to the detailed and subtle understanding of what a developer really needs in the way of an IDE .
