clean and intuitive editor, a highly configurable workspace, and a series of stable
features that we'd wager are relatively common among the lion's share of
IDE
s.
Beyond all this, however, is
IDEA
's intelligent understanding of Java code. Its
caching mechanism permits it to read an entire project and all its dependent
libraries and intelligently maintain the complex interconnected expanse of it all
that we have no hope of maintaining in our own minds. Because of this funda-
mental characteristic,
IDEA
is able to provide many more valuable features like
real-time code analysis as you type, multiple suggested intention actions when it
notices problems in your code, and smart/contextual code complete. And these
features only touch a small portion of
IDEA
's utility.
