First of all, I'm talking about the free version of IntelliJ (IDEA), you cannot use it to create Java EE applications and the HTML and JavaScript editors are pretty basic as everything else.
- Incremental compilation on save

- Not spinning the hard disk all the time indexing libraries

- Showing Javadoc by default without extra configuration steps
