I don’t think anyone should ignore the fact that IntelliJ is built for Java developers in mind. This is just one example of some of the amazing out of the box functionality IntelliJ provides. For instance, the icon to the right of Line 29 in the screenshot above indicates this line contains a recursive call. The editor section is center stage, with a gutter icon on the left showing context-specific icons. I use a customized color theme for syntax highlighting built ontop of the IntelliJ Light theme. The menu bar on the top is fully customizable allowing you to add, remove, or reorder widgets at will, neat-o! The Jetbrains IDE default view. The project menu is intuitively on the left hand pane giving a natural folder like structure to explore your contents. Ontop of that, you’re also able to set up language based syntax highlighting to customize your experience even further.įrom the functionality perspective, everything in this UI just ‘works’.

If you’re not satisfied with color themes, its pretty easy to build your own from scratch. Custom themes are easily downloaded via IntelliJ’s website and install in seconds. IntelliJ already looks great by default, but the wide variety of theme support helps folks find something that really works for them. Check out my video review of Intellij on my YouTube channel!
