> IntelliJ's expensive bloatware

I am pretty sure the free Community Edition is still much better than Eclipse.



Maybe when they finally support JNI development instead of sticking us with a CLion license.

That, an incremental Java compiler that isn't just using the one from Eclipse, not indexing every couple of minutes, and no 10 finger chord shortcuts.


Looks like yor impression of IDEA is from around 15 years ago.


I see it regularly in Android Studio, sadly.

Please prove the audience how to do JNI in InteliJ, without an additional Clion license.

Not a lame plugin, rather the same experience as Eclipse, Netbeans, or the one that Google has paid for on Android Studio.


Is there really an IntelliJ iDea (Ultimate) Community Edition outside of Android Studio?

I’ve also tried to use their products but by the time I need to, my 30-day has already expired so I just stick with Eclipse and VSCode.


There is "IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition", completely free forever. It's missing a few features compared to Ultimate, most notably the web development bits.


Ultimate is paid, community is separate. You still get plenty https://www.jetbrains.com/products/compare/?product=idea&pro...
