Re: [xwiki-devs] How many committers are using IntelliJ IDEA and are happy with it?

Here’s my quote: “I started using IDEA back in 2001. I really liked the code editor but Eclipse had a lot more plugins that I needed at the time so I kept switching between IDEA and Eclipse but my wish was to be able to stay on IDEA since it was so vastly superior in term of code editing. Then, IDEA improved a lot its ecosystem of features with support for Maven, code coverage and more and suddenly there was no need anymore to switch to another IDE! :) Hurrah! It’s now been about 10 years that I haven’t switched back. Every 2 years or so I try the new version of other IDEs in parallel to see how they have evolved but so far they haven’t been offering anything compelling to switch and IDEA is still ahead in the race IMO. I keep discovering new features now and then and I’m always amazed at the power and the fact that the new features are not in your way when you code."

Jetbrains is ok to renew it but they wish that the xwiki project gives something more in return: they mentioned some blog post for example. So first, who’s using IDEA and would like to continue using the Ultimate version (vs the community one which is free)? I’m using IDEA Ultimate and I’m very happy with it. The community edition looks good but is missing some features like HMTL/CSS/JS support. I don’t know if I would miss those features though if I were to use the community edition. I guess I should try it… Will do now! Any idea of what we could do? A blog post on xwiki.org could be written, mentioning the number of xwiki committers using it and providing some quotes from each devs, wdyt? Thanks -Vincent
