Being able to query my database directly from within JetBrains IDEs is very helpful in managing data-intensive applications. I am able to essentially update models or metadata within the code, run queries to see the impact on data, and other scripting directly into my database with my stored procedures or scripts. It is all very convenient that I can do all of that in one place. I do have multiple apps that I am involved with, so I find it very convenient to have multiple apps up at once when needed or easily switch between the different repositories that I have connected. Starting from an initial concept of an app, such as a hello world app, to a fully enterprise application, I feel that JetBrains IDEs is great because I can just add packages as needed for the management of whatever tool. From the very beginning to the deepest thing I could possibly want to develop, I believe I could do it all using JetBrains IDEs. I would rate this product a ten out of ten overall.
My advice for others looking into using JetBrains IDEs is that if you can, use the text editor. Plugins can actually get things done, and those are available for other code editors such as Visual Studio Code, Cursor, or Vim. You can use them, and if you can find a free version, go for it. I would rate this product 10 out of 10.

GitHub is what I am using for version control. Mostly with GitHub I am working for version control. One year back was the last time when I worked with Dependabot. I would absolutely use a plugin for the IDE for open source like maybe Apache or maybe something from JetBrains IDEs. I would rate IntelliJ a 6.5 for my final mark for the product.

JetBrains IDEs have regular updates which, to my experience, always give additional value. Moreover, I do not have those crashes that IÂ experience with Eclipse from time to time when updating something or adding a new component. Also the UX is, to my personal point of view, better than Eclipse.
I used Eclipse for many years, but since I started with IntelliJ some few years ago, I never switched back.

It seems to me as one of the best IDEs in the market, they are always releasing new versions with positive improvements, and in my opinion, I recommend it in its entirety.
