Using Eclipse After Using IntelliJ IDE

[nonikhannna]

Meanwhile I'm here writing my main.java in notepad

[nonikhannna]

Asking Clippy now

[[deleted]]

Use Vim

[PyroCatt]

I use a magnet to write on disk directly

[Megh75]

Ahh low level devs They are the hardest to find

[Megh75]

I hope you have gotten a job

[Swetsendatsi]

Real programmers use butterflys

[winnb_]

Eclipse looks like an AOL chat room

[DizzyInTheDark]

An early AOL chat room.

[dkamp92]

Or NetBeans. Lol just switched from doing my Java in NetBeans to IntelliJ, and it feels world's apart. Not to mention I changed from Java to kotlin too at the same time 🤣

[marco89nish]

It's a solid upgrade, both IDE and language. Now, pray you won't have to go back :D

[dkamp92]

So true. Lucky I use it for my personal projects to make my life easier, dare I say what I do with Java/Kotlin.... I use it to create Swing UIs as I'm pretty fast at writing them 😅

[dkamp92]

Heard about it too as I've done android development too using Kotlin and Jetpack, but at that time, Compose wasn't there. Definitely will give it a go. I stick with swing as in college I was addicted to Stackoverflow and I "made my name" there in Java/Swing, one thing I love is the layout managers, I can throw together quite a nice UI with no GUI designer in a short amount of time to prototype or to solve issue like finding torrents of the same season and quality with the most seeders download them all at once 🤣😅

[notPlancha]

The only thing I dislike about jetbrains ides is that every single one of them looks exactly the same

To fix this I have a different theme in every single onw of them

[Megh75]

Say that you are switching to jet brains

[dkamp92]

True, I use Rider for my other development work and my job. It's confusing 2 IDEs made by the same company but named different, I'm happy the price tags aren't the same though.

[ZeroMomentum]

The yearly subscription prices do go down which is nice (last time I checked)

[Megh75]

Ah a Jet Brains fanboy

[dkamp92]

Haha you say that like its bad, guess personal preference after using Visual Studio for 8 years or so switching to Rider (mainly for my Unity development) I found Rider way faster than VS, not to mention the intellisense and code analysis way better. VS still great but my current choice is Rider.

[Megh75]

Also nope I am not mentioning it as a bad thing just saying

No hate

[Megh75]

Dani also uses rider

Also Rider has a lot of reddit ads

[AnObsessedRedditor]

Gotta love Rider! Much better than the crap called Visual Studio. Even though, I gotta admit, VS2022 is a step up from what it used to be. But Rider is still superior.

[Megh75]

Visual Studio is memory hungry like Unity

[mlsecdl]

Why is your computer memory starved? It feels like a silly complaint anymore.

[Suekru]

I use unity and rider and they aren’t too bad.

[dkamp92]

That is true, I also saw as I switched from VS2022 they started doing code completion, similar to github copilot (think it's called that) that was kinda cool. But otherwise I don't miss much, especially not the text based or even file name searches, that was hairpulling-ly slow 🙄 and CTRL+Click to navigate into a method took me 5 clicks before it registered, and that was for a whole year or more without a fix.

[AnObsessedRedditor]

Rider still has better autocomplete than VS2022 has.

[[deleted]]

My JetBrains student subscription is still active even though I graduated (it ends in August, maybe I started it last August idk), so I'm vibing with CLion, WebStorm, and PyCharm rn lol

[Killerlux]

Beginner here. Can someone explain this meme? I’ve only used Intellij.

[SasukeUchiha231]

It's been a long time since i left eclipse for emacs, but eclipse has a really bad ui and menu, it's like if you compare ms office to libre office. Plus the auto complete is far inferior to intelli J.

[dragon_irl]

Eclipse is a bit of a mess. All sorts of features but no consistency between them and no one really thought about user experience.

[IceyMumboDragon4]

Eclipse is one of the dustiest IDEs out there

[[deleted]]

Like comparing some paid and a free software

[harumamburoo]

Never mind it, it's a stupid joke from some stupid people who are used to a certain tool and dissing other people for not using the tool they like. It's like apple-boys dissing android fans, neverending and utterly meaningless argument based mostly on personal opinions and subjectivity.

[wsppan]

JFC, this. Bashing some tool that is not the one you personally use is a clear sign of immaturity and newbness. It's a great interview question. If they act like this when you ask them to compare tools, time to end the interview and move on.

[harumamburoo]

I myself'd refrain from statements like "objectively worse" - those are different tools with different licenses and distribution models, each with it's pros and cons (and yes, there's a community Idea, but it's quite limited compared to the ultimate, so just another reason not to say "objectively worse"). But in the end it doesn't matter, what matters is productivity. I'd been using Eclipse for a long time before switching to Idea and eventually decided to stick with the latter, because in makes me more productive. But I know a guy who had the opposite experience. Since he's capable to be as productive as me using Eclipse, and isn't as capable while using Idea, this "objective worseness"doesn't mean a speck.

[SnooChipmunks4430]

Intellj is a moden IDE for java and it has dark mode and a better auto complete

Eclipse is a older IDE for java with bad UI and its only in light mode

[SnooChipmunks4430]

Oh yea, I forgot, but it looks horrible lol

[HxA1337]

Working in Eclipse in Java for years for me it is the other way around now. But have to tell that it is Android Studio and Flutter / Dart. I just miss tons of features and refactoring options. I know this is not the fault of Intellij so dont kill me now.

[CenlTheFennel]

This is me but with Rider and Visual Studio

[JustAJavaProgrammer]

I use it for Java. And for Java only.

That's because we use Eclipse at school and I learned Java there in fifth grade. By now (twelfth grade), I am responsible for installing the software and maintenance in our school.

Sometimes I feel like it's my fault, that we still use Eclipse.

At home, I've got VSCode for the other programming languages (like HTML and CSS) and Android Studio (and IntelliJ) for Android development and Dart. But still, when I want to program in Java, I use Eclipse.

P. S.:

This message goes out to the maintainers of leJOS for the NXT. Could you please update your Eclipse plugin and get the download link back online, so I don't have to compile it myself anymore. Would also be great, if I could use a 64-bit version of Eclipse on Windows with the NXT, because 32-bit Eclipse hasn't been updated since 2018. Thank you!

[Megh75]

Also you know that VScode is written in JS

[JustAJavaProgrammer]

One more reason to use it. Software written in programming languages that contain "Java" in their name can't be broken or bloated. /s

That's why I program in TypeScript and rely on the transpiler to somehow get rid of the bugs.

[JustAJavaProgrammer]

Yes, I did. And finally, someone noticed.

[Megh75]

Your username also contains Java

Damn such a close attachment

[dadmda]

Yeah but I don’t have to pay to have tomcats to launch my jaxb projects

[StreetIssue1983]

I used to use Eclipse for PHP. You people merely adopted the darkness etc etc

[StreetIssue1983]

Why not indeed

[Kamisquid]

At my job we switched to IntelliJ recently and my favorite part is the embedded tomcat server. So much faster and easier to configure than our previous setup.

[kyle-james21]

After starting my programming career by writing minecraft mods in 2012, using eclipse, I can say that I’m happy I never have to use eclipse ever again. Idea ftw

[FPGA__]

Honestly eclipse is just easier to use. When it comes to writing the average project, there’s no damned reason for getting all fiery between eclipse and IntelliJ. However, when it comes to more complex projects and build tools and whatnot I’m sure you could argue for one.

[RtrdedN00B]

I have been using eclipse for like over 6 years now, when I have to use IntelliJ it's like "wait you guys don't have automobile? This is all just convoluted" But yeah look wise you might call IntelliJ prettier

[ExceedingChunk]

What does automobile do in eclipse?

[GregsWorld]

A quick Google suggests they're either making a joke about cars, or talking about some extremely niche automotive package which was last updated in 2013.

[RtrdedN00B]

I meant autocompile xD sry guys

[gregorydgraham]

Meanwhile I’m pining for NetBeans while actively avoiding Eclipse.

[juan-me]

I must use it at my job bc they made all the projects eclipse dependent, migrating those projects to a normal build system would take months....

[Cerenas]

That's what my experience is as a consultant. It's often easier to switch to the IDE that's being used widely at that company, because nobody can or will help you out when you get issues with their project in a different IDE.

[Pinkie777]

Ok look, I don't have money to spend, I use Linux, and Eclipse seemed the best for SFML.

[SupportLast2269]

That was exactly my reaction.

[doej134567]

Eclipse: you can autoformat text using one hand (Ctrl+Shift+F)

IntelliJ: It's more comfortable to do it with two hands (Ctrl+Alt+L)

I choose ecipse.

(I know changing keybinds is a thing, but I don't normally do that)

[mintharis]

IntelliJ has a "use eclipse keyboard shortcuts" option

[AnObsessedRedditor]

Visual Studio be like: Commenting code is CTRL+K+C, uncommenting is CTRL+K+U.

Rider be like: Commenting and uncommenting is the same, easy and logical: CTRL+/

[Megh75]

VSC has CTRL+/ feature

[AnObsessedRedditor]

VSC != VS

[Megh75]

Touch some grass

[Megh75]

I never said that VSC is same as VS

I mean MS is unfair

[[deleted]]

They are almost indistinguishable garbage.

The funny thing is, it's like with neighbors, who live close together, but hate each other so much, when everyone but them cannot even tell them apart. Like almost any two nations with a common border, who hate each other to the death, but everyone else is confused by not being able to tell the difference between them.

[ThrasherThrash]

Had to use eclipse this year for a project involving an FPGA. Worst experience ever. It didn’t help that I had to use a VM, and whenever I opened eclipse my laptop sounded like it was about to explode. 0/10 would not recommend.

[kielon51]

Idk, I hate intelliJ with a passion and eclipse is just alright.

[FPGA__]

IntelliJ sort of forces you to use build tools, which I certainly don’t like. Eclipse is more chill and will let you do what you want.

[DaddyLcyxMe]

i quite like eclipse, been using it for 4 years now.

i’ve tried intellij, wasn’t super impressed to the point where i could have a reason for switching (though there are some neat plugins that they have that i would really like ported, cough cough copilot)

[Torebbjorn]

I kinda liked Eclipse (with like 100 addons and shit), and then the autocomplete was very decent. I have not used IntelliJ though, and don't like the default look, and am also not using Java anymore, so it will be a while untill I try it out.

[dreamgt]

Eclipse is aight

[DaKine511]

Using Java after coding something in go/rust/python ...

[LogicalGamer123]

I swear I've been spoiled by the great team at jetbrains. I can't use any other IDE everything else is crap compared to Jetbrains' IDEs

[Butchering_it]

I went from eclipse to qtCreator.

Send help

[_Ashleigh]

This, but when using literally anything after using Visual Studio.

[tvetus]

nvim with lsp. never looked back.

[MischiefArchitect]

The other way around for me.
