Use Eclipse or IntelliJ, whatever you prefer

I personally like Eclipse more, some other people here like IntelliJ more

[ornate patio]

what advantages will I get with intellij over eclipse ?

you might be asking the wrong person (as I said, I'm using Eclipse) but ig IntelliJ might be less overwhelming when you aren't used to it and the UI looks more modern

[ornate patio]

I'm using both Eclipse and IntelliJ right now, and I can't find any reason why IntelliJ might be better than Eclipse in terms of features. The only downside is that IntelliJ has a better UI than Eclipse, but apart from that, there's no disadvantage.

yes

but you are preaching to the wrong person lmao

Other than eclipse can SOMETIMES be a lil buggy but then we could argue IntelliJ can be buggy too

but again its all personal preference as Sir Daniel states...
