I'd been happily developing with VIM for more than five years but last year I tried RubyMine and once I let go of my perfectionistic/unixy point-of-view things got a lot easier tbh. If I were still doing systems programming I'd be very tempted to try this new IDE. Be warned though, the JetBrains products are usually not very pleasant to look at (alas there usually is support for themes).


Interesting ... I find the IntelliJ interface to be much more visually appealing than Eclipse's, especially when I use the dark theme.


Depends on your OS IMO. I had been using IntelliJ on Ubuntu 14.04 and the font rendering was awful, recently got a MacBook Pro and it's gorgeous.


all depends on Oracle JDK vs Open JDK on linux
