The two biggest problems I've had with Intellij IDEA for Java:

1. It's too memory hungry for a project that uses microservices.

2. Lack of official support for OSGi & bndtools (although it looks like almost no one else is using it based on their data).

If you are doing OSGi, Eclipse is the logical and optimal choice. Personally I have yet to see an OSGi project in my professional (US) work, but do see a lot of French (Sr.) devs with OSGi on their resume.

Yeah. I did end up using Eclipse w/ bndtools. The amdatu project for Intellij is pretty neat too.
