Agree. When I read Eclipse, I thought "icky" and scrolled down to see if maybe JetBrains will turn it into something usable. Since they're not in the list, I'll pass on this.

I'd rather rent a Windows Server so that I can remote desktop into IntelliJ than suffer through another IDE.

The productivity boost that you can get from using a great tool that you are intimately familiar with is just way too much to sacrifice in exchange for what boils down to less setup work for getting a new laptop ready for duty.

You needn't even remote in IntelliJ runs on windows mac and linux.
Agree, but then what's the point of using a Cloud IDE instead?
