A Java project in IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition with the ‘Darcula’ theme

JetBrains’ IntelliJ IDEA comes in several derivatives (WebStorm, PyStorm, RubyMine, and PhpStorm) and in a closed source, paid Ultimate version and open source Community Edition. Moreover, the Android team has worked with JetBrains to develop the Android Studio IDE revealed at Google I/O earlier this year.

Like Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA is a Java-based IDE that’ll appeal more to Java developers and others using JVM-based languages, but IDE flavours (and their respective plugins for the Ultimate edition) for web development work and popular scripting languages make it an all-around workhorse for polyglot developers juggling multiple projects. Eclipse works just as well – if not better – for many developers, but the various flavours of IDEA are worth checking out if you’re curious.
