IntelliJ vs Eclipse

[Vincent Privat]

You won't find consensus between those who prefer Eclipse and those who
prefer IntelliJ. Either we support both of them of none.
Personally I still use Eclipse even if I have a an IJ license but that's
more because I'm so used to use Eclipse I didn't find the time to "learn"
IntelliJ rather than a personal preference.
Cheers,
Vincent
