IntelliJ IDEA is a Java and Kotlin IDE. It is widely used for Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot, Android (before Android Studio became the standard), and many other languages through plugins. What I found beneficial about this: Intelligent Code Completion Detect bugs while typing Connect to Git, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, MongoDB, etc. Support Thousands of plugins available like Docker, Kubernotes, Lombok, AI Assistants, SonarLint etc. It has multiple language support like Java Kotlin, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, PHP, SQL. It is Free to use but Ultimate edition is Paid version. UI/UX is very easy to use and have most of the features we can use through GUI like git pull push. It supports AI to support development. It is faster after loading once

Jetbrains IDEs have a consistent UI/UX over different Operating Systems, IntelliJ is no different. Your learning is used accross other IDEs and Operating System - they have been consistent for years, but also keep improving the experience with care for our workflow. It is easy to add integration and plugins - and there are plenty on the community, of course for all AI major providers.

I use IntelliJ IDEA for my day-to-day Java and Kotlin development. The thing I like most about it is the built-in debugger. The debugging experience in IntelliJ IDEA is really smooth and reliable. I’ve tried multiple IDEs, such as Cursor, Antigravity, and VS Code, but none of them has given me the same kind of debugging experience as IntelliJ IDEA.
