Back then, Eclipse was this big, bloated and slow IDE. IntelliJ was slim, fast and much more intuitive and powerful in terms of refactoring, etc. Today, IntelliJ is big, bloated and turning slow.
Which IDE will be the next big thing?
Which IDE will be the next big thing?
tweaks like:
- they added their own custom property that speaks for itself: 'editor.zero.latency.typing=true'
- it runs on a JVM, so update the JVM settings. (Like most apps, they ship with defaults that assume you're running your IDE on something with the memory of today's phone)
- disable all unused plugins
This comment might seem like evangelizing but I find Intellij to be what an IDE should be in many ways. It would be nice if there was a feature to use more performant settings. But that's likely a rabbit-hole to auto-determine for all variety of customer env. Maybe something to make people aware of their options at least would be a middle-ground.
And then let the market give the company feedback on which it prefers.
My gut says architecture decisions to enable bloat would still affect the core release, but maybe not? The central issue seems to be disconnect with what the market wants.
Stop buying cheap old macs or switch to PCs. Tired of the same crap arguments. If your company doesn't want to spring for 3k laptops, get a 1k win laptop with the same specs.
