IntelliJ IDEA is undoubtedly the top-choice IDE for software developers. Efficiency and intelligence are built into the design, which enables a very smooth development workflow experience, from design, implementation, building, deploying, testing, and debugging, to refactoring! It is loaded with features and also offers a plethora of plugins that we can integrate into the editor. I switched to using IntelliJ IDEA 5 years ago and have never looked back.It has certainly made my life easier. I am producing more with less effort.

In Rider, I just focus on working with my code, as it should be, instead of fighting my IDE. Rider gave me back the joy in writing .NET code.

I'm an old school developer, so I didn't move to IntelliJ IDEA when all the cool kids did. However, when I started teaching coding workshops for engineers, the participants asked if they could use it. I realized then that I should try it. Wow, was I missing out! I've been using it extensively ever since and love how efficient it makes me as a developer.

RubyMine has everything you’d want from an IDE for modern Rails web development. Having tried out quite a few, I’d happily recommend RubyMine above all others. The static analysis tools are fantastic and a great help for beginners, the inbuilt Git integration and database browser makes things so much easier, and there are countless other features that help increase productivity.

Senior Android Developer, WHOOP
CTO, Produactivity
What I like the most about IntelliJ IDEA, far beyond all the technology integrations, shortcuts, and that kind of stuff that makes us more productive, are the simple and smart suggestions. They suggest how to name everything, applying naming conventions that give us best practices, or they give us instructions on how to migrate to new Java features. This is one of the characteristics that I highlight in talks with students.

I always feel happy and at home when working on my projects using IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate. First of all, it makes me productive and does a lot in a short time. It is like a Swiss Army knife, providing me with all the features and tools I need to finish the task at hand seamlessly and more effectively. And it comes complete with excellent code tips and amazing testing support.

Rather than using a multitude of individual tools, we’ve always preferred integrated environments. We started looking for a new digital home, and when we heard about Space at KotlinConf, we really liked the concept. So we decided to sign up.

Josh Long
Developer Advocate, Spring
Java Champion
I first tried IntelliJ IDEA when the Java Developers Journal or Java World or some such journal awarded it the "best IDE" in 2002. A few years later, Apache Maven got good and suddenly the teams I worked on could ditch the corporate mandated IDEs (like JBuilder!), whose configuration file droppings teams had to version control, and embrace their preferences, like IntelliJ IDEA. I used IntelliJ IDEA and haven't looked back. It's always been polished (it had transparent UI panels. In 2002! In Swing!) and it was feature-packed. Every release featured integrations for new technologies, some of which I didn't even know I would want to use until they showed up in IntelliJ IDEA. Nowadays, 18+ years later, I know the key commands and I know the tool fairly well, and I finally feel like the only bottleneck in my development cycle is me, not the tooling. And that's as it should be. I love IntelliJ IDEA, even if I am constantly frustrated that I have nobody to blame for a lack of productivity but myself.

Founder, BitTacklr
I've been using dotTrace on and off over the past couple of years. I take pride in knowing I build performant and scalable software. As much as I'd like to rely on instinct, I need dotTrace to be my extra pair of eyes, showing me where things can be optimized and what the next bottleneck is, or simply to be a sanity check for my design. It's such a cheap option to run your code with profiling turned on, collecting and comparing snapshots along the way. The hot spots that are shown are not limited to your own code but also the dependencies you are building on top of. There's a great sense of satisfaction to it, knowing that tweaking a few lines of code can make all the difference in performance, often reducing CPU usage by many factors. Recently, I had to deal with a data intensive application that was taking a few days to complete. With the help of dotTrace, I was able to reduce those days into roughly half an hour, thereby reducing the cloud computing bill of my customer. If that's not a win, then I don't know what is.

dotTrace is my main tool for any performance investigation. The fast learning curve and the convenient UI are definitely good selling points, but the real killer feature is the timeline view. All the information you need is reunited in a single screen, so you can get an immediate feel of how the application behaves and where to dig down.

Founder, Talk Python Training
Host, Talk Python to Me Podcast
I'm in the unique position of asking over 100 industry experts the following question on my Talk Python To Me podcast. "When you write some Python code, what editor do you open up?" While the answers vary, it is frequently PyCharm. The reasons the guests give are usually the same reasons I've been a PyCharm advocate for years. - PyCharm deeply understands your project, not just individual files - Refactoring is a breeze across an entire project - The built-in SQL tooling is amazing - Autocomplete works better than any other editor, by far That's just a few reasons I open PyCharm daily to build my web properties and manage the software that runs my business.

PyCharm is the best IDE I've ever used. With PyCharm, you can access the command line, connect to a database, create a virtual environment, and manage your version control system all in one place, saving time by avoiding constantly switching between windows. I couldn't imagine going back to programming without PyCharm's local history feature and debugger. Add the rest of its convenient shortcuts and features, and you have the perfect IDE.

There is nothing more daunting than having a hunch that something is off with the memory of an application. Instead of countless hours of guesswork and reasoning about code, dotMemory allows me to achieve confidence about the memory behavior of my code in minutes. A must-have for everyone who embraces a performance culture.

Cesar Hernandez
Senior Software Engineer, TomiTribe
Java Champion
I enjoy the overall debugger capabilities, inline evaluations, and integration with Tomcat and TomEE servers out of the box for arquillian scenarios. Smart code completion is an everyday feature I enjoy and find highly productive when bootstrapping new code or doing major refactors. Integration with Maven, Docker, and classic toolsets like Ant, is also great. Being active in open source projects means you will interact with different toolsets, dependencies, and versions from project to project. I’ve never found myself blocked with IntelliJ IDEA when it comes to support for legacy setups or the latest unreleased Java specifications, implementations, or libraries. The constant support for new frameworks and technologies allows you to save time onlearninghow testing works and applying new features and bug fixes.

Our whole team, including Engineers, QA, and less technical Product Analysts, all use RubyMine with confidence. Being able to share settings and profiles has meant that it’s quick to get new members of the team up and running and that paired programming is smoother. Search and navigation is particularly easy, meaning we are often able to quickly check references whilst brainstorming ideas.

Founder, Govannon
The things that ReSharper showed me and taught me is simply amazing. It's like having your own personal pair programmer sitting right next to you all the time.
It tells you if your code is good, if you actually use the code you create and it even helps you reformat/refactor your code to make it more robust.
An example that blew me out of the field was with an iteration I was working on which went over a List. ReSharper offered a suggestion to use LINQ and went right ahead rewriting the whole iteration into a LINQ statement. This is great for teaching you new stuff!

An IDE can make or break a developer’s day. When JetBrains introduced Rider (C#) we jumped on board as fast as we could. Having been there at every step of the way in Unity’s evolution of IDE integrations; working with Rider has been nothing but an absolute joy. With the introduction of CLion (C++), we were so excited we created an integration plugin for Unreal. Both of these tools help our team on a daily basis, allowing developers to perform their tasks quickly and efficiently, all the while seamlessly integrating with numerous parts of our pipeline.

TeamCity is different. And different is better. Build failure spam? No more. Waiting for a success message before going home? Nope. Lengthy clean and full rebuilds before checking in? Thing of the past. Can't compile because you synced just after someone else checked in garbage? Never again...
What do you do when you check in? Sync, clean, build, test, and then submit, right? How long does that take? 15 minutes, 30 minutes? Why don't we just let the CI server do that for us...
TeamCity is simply doing CI the way it should have been done in the first place.

Aaron Jensen

TeamCity is just packed full of nerdgasm features that just work out of the box. No need to scour the web for plugins, deal with XML, or anything like that. Things just work. For example, you get full status of the build while it is happening--you can see what MSBuild step the build is on, you can see the important messages in the Build Log (it filters them quite intelligently), you can even see what threads/processes are running. If you use their NUnit runner you can even see how many tests have passed/failed/been ignored. All in all, we're very happy with TeamCity. It's just as free as CC.NET for a team of our size, it's much much easier to set up, and it has way more features... JetBrains has a winner here.

So the reason I made the switch is because of the time it take to set it up: 20 minutes. Everything was fully functional in under 20 minutes. I absolutely got no error at all. I just got through all the steps of the wizard and then: done. Unit testing, code coverage, build, reports, etc... And it's absolutely free for small team.

I couldn't believe how easy it was. I installed the server and got my first project up-and-running in about 15 minutes... TeamCity is what TFS and CC.NET should be like when they grow up.
After becoming a real Resharper addict (can't use Visual Studio without it), I'm now becoming a slave to TeamCity as well. I've converted all my home projects, and life has never been better.

All of the cool options and features aside, the real power comes from the amount of reporting you can get out of this tool automatically with minimal effort...

PhpStorm is the most effective solutions that I have ever used. My team is able to use the product for a wide range of tasks and goals. For instance, our backend developers work with the PHP framework, while the Frontend team works with the template engine and SCSS. At the same time, the QA engineer are able to conduct automated testing. Therefore, PhpStorm covers all aspects and needs of the web development team enabling us to be much more effective and productive.

As a seasoned user of RubyMine (started in 2009) I’m sure that investment in JetBrains tools is worth my time. Extremely efficient navigation through the codebase, mindset of building toolset around keyboard shortcuts and powerful searching features. It feels like IDE understands my code providing a great assist and confidence with any kind of refactoring. RubyMine is definitely heavy duty, all around Rails ecosystem toolset — whenever you are doing backend or frontend part of Ruby on Rails apps, you have support for almost anything you need.

Having a lot of previous experience with Visual Studio/C#, I was a little wary when starting with Ruby. I was unfamiliar with the syntax and the tool chain. With RubyMine I was able to jump right into writing productive Ruby code. The tool helped setup all the tedious build requirements for projects. As I used the tool, the suggestions it offered help me learn more of the Ruby language, including the preferred idiomatic style. I feel I have learned a lot more about Ruby simply by using RubyMine.

RubyMine's GUI for easily stepping through code in the debugger is great. The inline code analysis is nice for quickly catching typos and the code completion can be useful too. But for me, the best part about having RubyMine is the navigation and documentation. Being able to instantly bring up documentation is awesome! If I need more information, I hate wasting time trying to hunt down a method buried in code that I am not familiar with. With one key-stroke RubyMine takes me to the code I'm looking for.

I have been using RubyMine for a long time and can say it is an absolute dream to work in! I use it daily, integrated with various version control systems, and automating remote file syncs. The automatic running of tests while I'm refactoring and coding is a key feature for me. JetBrains is regularly adding new features, and it's super easy to pick up.

When I started learning Ruby, just a year ago, I tried every IDE out there. I was never really happy until I found RubyMine. I don't think I could have even learned Ruby as quickly as I did without RubyMine. All of the smart notifications, syntax highlighting and refactoring functions actually taught me a lot about coding. Things tutorials and other IDE's let slide, RubyMine helped me to adopt. Then once I got the hang of things, RubyMine helped me to write code faster. The code navigation, powerful search tools and keyboard shortcuts saved a ton of time. I'd recommend RubyMine to anyone learning to code with Ruby or Rails.

If you use Rhino.Mocks, then every class that you mock must implement an interface. With the help of ReSharper, interfaces can be created from an existing class and propagated to the rest of your codebase with just a few keystrokes. This alone makes the price of ReSharper worth it if you are going to start using mocking in a Legacy system that was designed without using interfaces.

Seriously, how can you develop without it? I guesstimate I lose 2-3 hours a day without it just typing redundant code or manually refactoring code. The auto rename of files to match the containing class alone saves massive amounts of time. Not to mention it just makes my code 100% better than if I had coded it by hand.

I have only really been consistently using ReSharper for the last month and am still far from my goal of becoming a ReSharper Jedi. Nevertheless, the dozen or so keystrokes that I have mastered and consistently use are making a noticeable difference in removing some of the coding noise that usually distracts me and slows me down while coding.
The more keyboard shortcuts I have at my disposal, the faster I code and the better chance I have to get and stay in the zone where I am focused just on solving the problem at hand rather than getting distracted by syntax and unnecessary keystrokes.

ReSharper adds to Visual Studio the crucial ability to interactively analyze your code as you edit, giving you deep semantic feedback... ReSharper's interactive analysis... detects things like dead code, possible null references, instance methods that could be made static, unreferenced fields, un-updated writeable fields, etc. ...VS plus ReSharper is certainly a first class IDE.

What can I say? I love JetBrains ReSharper. If you haven't seen it before, it's an add-in for Visual Studio geared toward refactoring and TDD. Doing TDD without ReSharper installed is like coding Windows Forms in Notepad... ReSharper turns you into an artist sculpting code to be aesthetically beautiful. JetBrains' tagline is "Develop with pleasure!" and ReSharper definitely lives up to that. If you haven't checked it out, I would definitely recommend downloading it and checking it out.

PhpStorm makes it easy to navigate large codebases, which is especially handy if we take over an existing project from our customers.

I use CLion both at work and for all my personal projects. The ability to quickly and easily browse my projects, find what I need to find, make quick and easy renames and use a fully-featured debugger right in my IDE means I find it difficult to go back to any other editor. CLion takes a lot of the toil out of C++, allowing me to concentrate on the interesting part: problem solving.

CLion’s powerful refactoring and code model that understands dependencies between items have already changed my software design process. One can dig out quite a bunch of bugs even before running the application.

CLion has been indispensable for me when refactoring large codebases. The refactoring tools and the real-time feedback in the IDE about which lines still need to be updated are excellent time savers. Each release gets better and more responsive than the last!

Switching to JetBrains Rider was a great decision. Our team has never experienced an IDE that can communicate with Unity in such a flawless and efficient manner. We would highly recommend JetBrains Rider to anyone who aims at improving the efficiency and accuracy of their workflows.

Star and Serpent has been developing voxel game technologies for years with passion. After switching to Rider and the Godot game engine, we've been positively amazed by JetBrains Godot integration and the quality and personal touch of their support. Rider makes development with Godot an absolute joy, and I consider it well worth the investment.

As IT consultants we usually have to switch more often than not between programming languages and ecosystems. With Rider as the missing piece in JetBrains IDEs we now also can switch easily to .net development and feel at home immediately. We use Rider as our primary IDE for Xamarin development now. The IDE has come a long way!

Rider is the best IDE for .NET development, particularly Xamarin. It's cross-platform, which means I get the powerful refactoring, unit testing, hot-reload, and other great tools on Mac or Windows!

Two things most developers use these days, an IDE, and a text editor. Rider is my IDE.I have been using Rider for developing cross-platform Xamarin applications on macOS since 2017.I used to miss Visual Studio on my Mac.Now that I have Rider, I don't even use Visual Studio on Windows. Rider has all the tools I need to deliver cross-platform mobile applications, and it works and feels the same on Windows or Mac. Friends don't let friends use anything else. Ask my friends, they have all switched!

Using Rider with Godot has made working with the C# integration much easier. The smart code completion and the amazing suggestions it provides to write better C# is invaluable. I am also able to completely manage my git version control from within Rider. The less context switching that I need to do, the more productive I am. Rider has certainly increased my overall productivity.

Really pleased with how well JetBrains Rider works on my MacBook. It’s blazingly fast and the debugging experience in C# is at least as good as Visual Studio. Also, it gives me all the benefits of ReSharper out of the box! Loving it. Thanks JetBrains for another great product!

As a Java developer, the familiar access that MPS provides to Language Engineering is a game-changer. The commonality and interoperability with IntelliJ IDEA gives a consistent environment to start one's journey. For us, it did not take long for the benefits of DSLs to be demonstrable and for MPS to become a core part of our engineering toolkit. We now have more confidence in our domain, a closer relationship between our engineering capability and product strategy, and ultimately, we build better software quicker.

MPS is a uniquely powerful tool for building languages, IDEs, and generators. I’ve used it for a decade in finance, insurance, government, healthcare, systems engineering, and embedded software. MPS’s projectional editor allows mixing textual, tabular, symbolic, and graphical notations, which is crucial for languages that are targeted to subject matter experts who are not programmers. Its support for modular language composition increases quality and development efficiency.

JetBrains MPS is a revolutionary environment for creating and evolving rich solutions for experts of all kinds.
At Strumenta we are using it to support clients working in different fields, and it is just amazing how the experts can change the way they work when using MPS.
While not perfect, MPS is by far the most mature and advanced solution for creating languages, a real game-changer.

My daily challenge is to help integrate knowledge of people about system design in different domains (software, mechanics, electronics, physics, chemistry, etc.) in a scalable way. Without MPS and its various community extensions as a backbone, meeting this challenge on the industrial scale that my company needs, with the agility to quickly adapt the tooling on all relevant design levels, would be an impossible task. There is simply no other system that can bring it all together on the needed level of sophistication.

WebStorm is like a Swiss Army knife. There is always a better tool for some particular case, but WebStorm is the only all-in-one solution with robust support for all cases you can face on a daily basis as a JavaScript developer. Plus, it's pretty, solid, feature-rich, and easy to use.

We switched to WebStorm in part because a lot of the premium features come prepackaged, which let us get started quickly while reducing our dependence on additional third parties. Besides, having all of our software licenses in one place made it easier to manage access to our development tools.

Rider is the best and only IDE that we use for Unity programming tasks. It saves a lot of time in our workflow, providing top-notch code analysis for C# with Unity-specific code inspections and quick-fixes. Similarly, Rider warns us if we try to use a new keyword to create a new instance of a class derived from MonoBehavior or ScriptableObject. Seamless debugging also helps a lot. Great tool for us!

It is a delight to refactor code with WebStorm. I have been able to simultaneously move, rename, split, and restructure over a hundred files as I refactor my project with confidence and efficiency. A big refactoring operation could be a nightmare in a less advanced IDE, and many developers could sometimes be hesitant to periodically maintain and improve their codebase, leading to the accumulation of technical debt and a degrading codebase.

With WebStorm, it has been a pleasure to keep the code neat as our projects grow.

If you’re writing C++ for Unreal, you absolutely need to get Rider for Unreal Engine. The automatic include is a time saver and being able to see Blueprints values from within Rider is crazy cool. Navigating to a class by ctrl-clicking its type is amazing as well. There’s just so much ease-of-use in Rider that you sorely, sorely miss in Visual Studio.

One of the coolest things that I observed about using Spring within IntelliJ [IDEA] is Spring Initializr. I don’t have to get out of my IntelliJ IDEA and go to a website, download the code. I can do that – that adds another 2 minutes, which I want to preserve. So all I can do is just create a new project using Spring Initializr and it tells me which version of Spring is compatible with which Java version. That makes it more and more simple, so that adds to the ease of using and creating all the APIs within IntelliJ [IDEA] itself.

You can create your GET and POST requests inside IntelliJ IDEA; so you don’t have to test them in the browser or use an external tool. You can also save those settings inside your IDE and share those test endpoints with other members of the team. I’m a big fan of the HTTP Client.

As a long time Vim user all I can say is: GoLand from JetBrains is extra dope. The subtle things like annotating function arguments, and the natural feeling of the refactoring and debugging workflows, let me know they take this IDE thing seriously.

I highly recommend using Aqua if you use Selenium, Cypress, and Playwright. This incredible IDE facilitates the generation of page locators and allows seamless validation within the IDE itself. There is no need to open Chrome DevTools or other inspectors. You can effortlessly write page objects using your preferred locator strategy, such as CSS or XPath, and validate them directly within Aqua against the webpage.

At Warhorse Studios, working on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 means developing and debugging the game for not only PC but also for consoles. With Rider's new debugger for Xbox and PlayStation®5, it is finally possible.

It's fantastic to have the flexibility of using a single IDE across all platforms we develop on. Rider has opened up a new level of convenience and efficiency for us.
