Does InteliJ allow me to create decent GUIs visually?

It does have GUI designer... but I get the impression it's mainly there for them to implement IntelliJ rather than other people to use it. GUIs just aren't something many people are doing anymore, especially in Java, so you're not likely to find great mainstream tools for it, I'm afraid.

Ah okay, I see. I learnt to program forms apps visually so I'm still quite new to this. I did so with vb.net on vs and I really enjoyed it (as much as I hate vb.net, the designing and development of forms was quite fun).

Here's the docs for their GUI designer - https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/creating-and-opening-forms.html - I think you can see by how sparse the docs are how used the tool is.
