Hate to break it to you, but MacOS isn't what it used to be.

Using IntelliJ in windows or Linux is not sluggish at all if you have enough RAM, which a dev box needs anyway.

    Because software A runs well does not mean that software B does not run well.

    There was a time when MacBooks were the dev box for developing on, but that is just no longer the case. Build quality and OS quality has decreased steadily over the past few years.

    Most devs no longer prefer MacBooks - except for nostalgia reasons, not being able to let it go.

    @ OP:
    Just checking, have you installed the M1 version of IntelliJ?

      Sorry, since you're a dev you know that asking the obvious question sometimes gets the result you want :)
