JetBrains Reviews

Reviewers see JetBrains as a developer-first IDE suite that trades breadth and depth for a bit more weight. Users repeatedly praise code completion, refactoring, debugging, search, project navigation, and especially Git integration, saying the tools feel fast in large codebases, stable, and easy to rely on once shortcuts click. The main complaints are slower performance, a sometimes invasive feel, plugin trial and error, and a learning curve versus simpler editors. Founders of Kilo Code and others also highlight strong integrations and top-tier Kotlin support.
