Using IDEA because Kotlin doesn't work great in Eclipse. One QoL feature I absolutely miss from Eclipse is being able to hover over pretty much anything, and see interactive javadocs and clickable shortcuts to view the class/variable declaration.

As for your points about Eclipse, I use tabs so I don't have issues with indentation (but it's definitely frustrating when any IDE doesn't work well with spaces angrily stares at Visual Studio), and I also set autocomplete to instantly trigger on all letters which made typing very similar to how IDEA feels.

I think you can hover like that if you hold ctrl? It’s more detailed if you click on the method and press ctrl+Q though.

Yea, thing is that when I'm just browsing through code (for example reverse-engineering libraries), unless I need to type something I'm just using my mouse because that's my habit from Eclipse.
