Wow.. I hate it... the quality of IntelliJ has really fallen. I've been using it for like 5 years now and I'm constantly fighting it

There are literally 20-40 serious bugs that impact me daily.

Do you have some examples? I've used IntelliJ or variants of it (Clion primarily in more recent years) since ~2004 and rarely had any issues, but it's possible I'm missing some obvious things here.

macos + 4k display [0] = enormous performance issues even on mac pro

Wow, never had this, I use IntelliJ (for java) many hours everyday with 2x4k@60Hz screens (both running with hidpi scaling so even more pixels than 2x4k) and it’s always running smoothly. Running MBP 16”.

This has been my exact setup (except 15" instead of 16") for four years now, and I also have never had problems.

Yep, and that issue has been open for FIVE YEARS. The related issue which promises a fix has "only" been open for two, however: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-745

Interesting - my own setup is the built-in 15" high DPI display, an LG 5k display and a Dell 49" ultrawide with a low DPI. I've not really experienced this. Probably scaling mode or similar.

I find this with all IDEs; quality is dropping fast and bugs do not get fixed. I find myself reaching for emacs more and more.

VSCode is the one exception IME. The base editor is improving and the range of high-quality extensions is growing.

Eg installing and running the Lombok extension is a one-liner. I fought for about an hour trying to do the same on Eclipse.

[contravariant]

Clearly it's not the case with _all_ IDEs then.

[deepaksurti]

But emacs is an OS, no? :)

[iamcreasy]

Yes, I'd love to know some of the bugs that you are talking about.

Curious to know your top 3?
