The project home page.

The Github

Looks just like VS Code and I think it’s still built on electron so take that as you will.

Had a coworker five years ago who wouldn’t let go of it. And he was really productive.

To my understanding, there are still some things it does better than IntelliJ, for instance being able to add all missing imports in one go instead of one by one.
I’ll admit though that this is a rather tiny advantage, and as I haven’t touched Java in quite a while, it may be even outdated.

That’s good to hear. I haven’t touched Eclipse in maybe 15 years and back then it fueled me a burning hatred for IDEs. It felt like a huge confusing mess. But maybe it has become more streamlined lately.

Now I have grown out of my hatred and can’t imagine a day without (non Eclipse) IDEs.

I have used it about 3 years ago and it was still a confusing mess. I recommend sticking with IntelliJ for JVM development for now.

It’s still a hot mess. Helped my wife set it up for developing a Java webapp with Tomcat and it’s such a mess to set up, compared to IntelliJ that I could just set up a Springboot easily.

It is outdated. It just requires two clicks.
