Is anybody else finding Intellij more and more getting in the way in an obtrusive manner? Code completion suggestions are getting worse, formatting ability is basically none existent if your statement is missing a comma or a lambda, it keeps reindexing my local maven repo, code completions are slow to appear... I was a huge fan of their products but now I'm getting more and more annoyed. Maybe I'm getting old?

Several times I have been on the brink of trying out spacevim for java development , out of pure frustration but the amount of config and tweaking needed scares me. I don't need much, lightning fast auto complete, auto import and Google code formatter integration. One of these weekends I'll bite the bullet I think and set it all up.



I noticed that a couple of years ago. 10 years ago or so, Jetbrains was the gold standard. Then support and quality started to rot. Issues not resolved for years, esp. for Webstorm. Instead building new products and features I was not interested in. I needed proper tailwind support back then, not some cloud colab solution for enterprises.
