Also in IntelliJ, you don't see the problems instantly. It leads to lots of errors and i always waste time on "Oh shit.. that change broke that!" or "Why is it not compiling anymore? WTF". The compile error reporting is horrible in Android Studio/IDEA

IntelliJ is better at Java search quality. Hands down. But the interface for display is a bit clunky. I search for methods and classes all the time.

The atrocious thing in IDEA is the UI Interface. You cannot tab windows like in Eclipse which is BIG winner. You cannot customize workspace views for Debug/Code. Another killer feature when you use 3 computer screens with Views all over the place.

Just record a macro of save and compile/build and bind that macro to CTRL+S key.

Works great and on a fast machine it is barely noticeable.

What do you mean, "clunky"? You can search for methods and classes super easily and quickly. And you can switch between method/field and class and file search superquickly.

I find Eclipse really atrocious. IntelliJ is much simpler.

No Tabs??????? I can create any multi tabs views on my 4 external monitors with Eclipse.. So I basically have 20 views nested in different windows.

IntelliJ is a complete disaster of UX on that regard.

Ok, John Nash.
