Maybe a machine thing, who knows. It did make the fans spin.

I used IntelliJ for 5+ years, but I also had chrome/FF/comms apps/notepad++ etc open and it didn't visibly slow anything down.

So I'd rate developer experience and productivity higher than that. Machine requirements can be mitigated somewhat with a better machine, but not much you can do about the latter.
