> Nothing else seems to come close, they have a Community version, nowadays Eclipse and NetBeans both feel slow After not using Eclipse for 10 years, I had to use it again last month for a very large existing project. I was pleasantly surprised. It felt faster than IntelliJ. |

I last did 1-2 years ago and it still wasn't quite passable in a Java project with 4000-5000 source files, though maybe that's because of the plugins involved (e.g. myBatis for ORM which has Java interfaces and XML mappers for SQL queries) or mixing technologies like JSP/JSF and also having JS files with front end resources in the same codebase.
Of course, i'm talking about the full Eclipse with the JDT package and a bunch of other stuff, some folks have more slim installs: https://www.eclipse.org/jdt/ In that regard you can indeed have a lot of flexibility. Oh and i think that a while ago they also tried having lightweight solutions like Che and Theia as well.
Recently i've actually started splitting up the old legacy projects into multiple monorepos (e.g. "back-end" and "front-end" folders with the occasional supporting service in there as well, not necessarily everything in a single repo) and the impact has been pretty noticeable!
For starters, separate instances of IntelliJ and WebStorm for different kinds of code (Java and JavaScript/TypeScript) seem to work far more quickly, the builds also are generated faster (since fewer resources to copy) and i don't need to cry when i forget to tell the IDE to ignore node_modules.
