一个非常有用的特性是能够部分构建Maven反应堆项目，以便只包括您需要的部分。

To make this a little clearer, consider the case of a collection of WAR files with a lot of common resources (e.g. JavaScript, Spring config files etc) being shared between them using the overlay technique. If you are working on some web page (running in Jetty) and want to change some of the overlay code that is held in a separate module then you'd normally expect to have to stop Jetty, run the Maven build, start Jetty again and continue. This is the case with Eclipse and just about every other IDE I've worked with. Not so in IntelliJ. Using the project settings you can define which facet of which module you would like to be included in a background build. Consequently you end up with a process that appears seamless. You make a change to pretty much any code in the project and instantly it is available after you refresh the browser.

非常简洁，而且非常快。

我无法想象在没有它的情况下，在像YUI这样的东西中编写一个返回到DWR/SpringMVC的前端。

我没有用IntellijIdea编写过很多代码，但是在IntellijIdea中，你可以看到括号(if, try/catch, cycle等)之间的代码块在哪里开始，在哪里结束。

在Eclipse中(我在Eclipse 3.2中编码)，您只能手动识别块。

别忘了“和剪贴板比较”。

这是我在IntelliJ中一直使用的，而在Eclipse中没有对应的东西。

IntelliJ具有从代码到jspx文档的智能感知和重构支持。

有很多事情是idea用更简单的方法解决的，或者没有等价的方法:

Autocomplete actions: Doing ctrl+shift+a you can call any idea action from the keyboard without remembering its key combination... Think about gnome-do or launchy in windows, and you've got the idea! Also, this feature supports CamelCasing abbreviations ;) Shelf: Lets you keep easily some pieces of code apart, and then review them through the diff viewer. Local history: It's far better managed, and simpler. SVN annotations and history: simpler to inspect, and also you can easily see the history only for such a part of a whole source file. Autocomplete everywhere, such as the evaluate expression and breakpoint condition windows. Maven integration... much, much simpler, and well integrated. Refactors much closer to the hand, such as loops insertion, wrapping/casting, renaming, and add variables. Find much powerful and well organized. Even in big projects Much stable to work with several branches of a big project at the same time (as a former bugfixer of 1.5Gb by branch sources, and the need to working in them simultaneously, idea shown its rock-solid capabilities) Cleaner and simpler interface... And, simpler to use only with the keyboard, letting apart the need of using the mouse for lots of simple taks, saving you time and giving you more focus on the code... where it matters!

现在，作为开源的…Idea的用户群将呈指数级增长。

对我来说，它是IDEA的maven支持，特别是在版本9中是首屈一指的。项目与maven模型的动态同步非常棒，使开发变得愉快。
