What you call over engineered I call common sense capabilities that get out of my way. There isn't any thing (non platform specific) that I can do in VS that I can't do better and faster in the IDEA platform. And with the tooling consistency, in can jump between stacks and Stillman maintain the same functionality.

this is a very interesting debate is there a list of features side by side? or a comparative study that lists pros and cons? I do not think over-engineering is a subjective term, also common sense :) yes, between them there's lots of levels but one is at one extreme and one is at the other. so I guess, a good analysis of these two IDEs could be make with a good level of objectivity from the author.
