How free is your IDE?
I love to hear some specifics about what you in particular find useful
about IDEA. Or rather, what does it enable you to do "without getting in
your way".
Jake
Jake,
I agree that if I'm going to make such a comment, then I should back it up and I will.
1) every major function that I need to perform, I
can get to it from the keyboard. No need for a reach for the mouse.
2)
it support every way that I organize code a project directories without
giving me fits.
3) I can design and utilize my own coding
templates
4) I have integrated many tools into IDEA with little
difficulty using the built-in facilities
5) I have integrated my own
scripting language into IDEA with little difficulties. IDEA recognizes
different syntaxtic elements.
6) The todo feature fit with the way I was
coding before I used IDEA
7) The ability to complete or make up
reasonable variable names for me.
8) Intigration with different JDK's is
a snap.
9) The ability to integrate tool such as Word.
10)The ability
to generate stubs for methods as code.
There are a number of other features that just keep this tool but, I just decided to stick with these 10.

7. Do you have no creativity? Come on you are a programmer of much
grace and beauty, surely you can dream up a variable name or two.

Jason is OBVIOUSLY being paid by IBM to tout their silly little free tool
in the face of much superior technology. Come on, Jason - WSAD5 blows
eclipse away and yet you're still waving its tiny, limp flag.
Epesh, I only got a t-shirt from Rational before the take over :)
I don't wave any flags, there are some blogmeisters who shout Eclipse from the rooftops, I am NOT one of those...

*grin* Yeah, yeah - sure, sure. Say, how's XDE working for you?
Wsad 5.1 (just released) should be feature equivalent to Eclipse 2.1 (out
for some time). Both rock, but I wish I could stay on the leading edge AND
have integration with WebSphere.

We are switching from JBuilder to Eclipse. We looked at IDEA and thought
it was a good editor. We decided that it was worth the time to use
Eclipse. Now that I've used it for a couple of weeks, I'm compfortable
with it. It would have taken me that long to get comfortable with IDEA
too.
If you want integration with Websphere, look at www.myEclipseIde.com. I haven't tried Websphere integration, but tomcat integration works great. The JSP editing is good too.

No support for multiple projects (KAWA had really nice support for
them)!
TS133T
Well, IDEA does support multiple projects though not all in the same frame.
Having said this, I think that it is a good idea that they do not support
multiple projects with-in the same frame as one project per frame is all
the confusion that I can handle.

" #5 I have integrated my own scripting language into IDEA with little

It would be great if Eclipse was scriptable. I mean, isn't that a requirement for any large program nowadays? Also, if i could not only define where my cursor was supposed to jump when engage a code template, but then also where to put the cursor during subsequent TABS (i.e. for(|; *; *){*}; where | is initial cursor placement and * is subsequent tabs.) then the code templates would be SO much more useful. At least the VI plugin is improving rapidly...
I tried switching to Eclipse and solely on the fact it couldn't/woudln't
accept the existing project structure that I inherited (regardless of my
skills or lack of imagination in such setups) it was a no starter. I've
heard that this has been fixed in V2 with "links" from the eclipse projects
to the physical files. Sounds painful.
IDEA just worked right off the bat, it accepted and integrated my existing paths without problem and I was off and running within 10 minutes of installation.

In remark of point 7 of Jase
7. Do you have no creativity? Come on you
are a programmer of much grace and beauty, surely you can dream up a
variable name or two.
Sure we have creativity, hmm, lets see how shall I call this FileReader, ah I know, it's my sisters birthday today, so today I will call my fileReader HappyBirthdayLittleSis...
Or should I just press shift-space and have Idea fill in fileReader as my var name. Choices choices...
Not intended as flame, but why should I want to create funny and creative names for things that should be ready for understanding by anyone.

I still use vim, seriously... But it's what real programmers use
innit?!
To be honest, my computer is too slow to run all these fancy IDEs. I want to upgrade soon though... I'm thinking of quintupling my CPU speed phwoooarrr!
