IntelliJ for me as i spend much of my time on Android Studio (IntelliJ based) so it feels like home

I have used both eclipse and intellij I found intellij to be more useful in my case: 1) You can use many tools with intellij as plugin. Some of which are not available on intellij 2) In paid version of intellij integration with tomcat is too easy. Hence, easy for your deployments on local. 3) Debugging becomes lot easy with values can be next to your code line. In eclipse you need to press few keys to see values. 4) Auto Suggestions are more closer in context of code you are using. Eclipse shows you all possible keywords.

I would choose Adobe Dreamweaver as my preffered IDE, but it you don't want to pay, I would choose Eclipse because it has many features and it's easy to learn, you can jump right in.

For Java, Eclipse. If you decide to learn C++, Visual Studio.

I have used both Eclipse and IntelliJ. I have less experience with IntelliJ, but already love the IDE features. I find the UI/UX of Eclipse to be a little less intuitive than IntelliJ. As for compile times... don't really know that. For me, unless compile times are an order of magnitude different then I wouldn't care (those times are probably roughly the same). But, the Eclipse IDE is improving all of the time and has already come a long way so I don't count it out.

I am new to coding but I just love IntelliJ Idea. I doubt there might be a compiler better than this (I have not used any other compiler just a hunch). It is a great IDE for learning.

it can use Netbeans for beginners. But it doesn't support Android programming. most advanced users used eclipse IDE for develop their programmes. it has more plugins to develop new programs like androids. In industry level professional users use Intelij IDE for create high quality software products.

I have Eclipse and IntelliJ but I think IntelliJ is better. It is because Android Studio which make apps is IntelliJ based.
