5436 posted:Which IDE do people generally prefer? Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA? I loving love IntelliJ IDEA. 12.0 added some much needed features in terms of matching the development capabilities of Eclipse. But it's still missing a few components which make it a deal breaker for me (at my job at least). 1. IntelliJ 12.0 doesn't support certain Lint warnings. For example, if you call a method that was added in one of the newer API's, say API level 14, but you're minSDK is API level 8, your poo poo will just break on older devices, all without any warnings from IntelliJ. This is the main reason I still use Eclipse. 2. Less importantly, the XML formatting in IntelliJ is balls compared to Eclipse. This can be considered nitpicking but IntelliJ still doesn't support the "official" XML formatting and ordering style for attributes. I guess a lot of people could't give a poo poo but my job is big on maintaining a uniform formatting style. Being able to auto-format with Eclipse is a huge time saver in that regard. Fortunately for me, both of these features are coming in 12.1. I can't loving wait.
