So I've been working in Intellij all day today, although most of the time was spent in the setup/config process. I initially tried to get the C++ plugin <http://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/?id=1373> to work for my NDK related stuff but just couldn't get the paths setup correctly (I assume) because none of my includes were resolving so I gave up. The config of Android SDK and JDK were a little unexpected but I wonder if that has more to do with importing from an eclipse project or not. Anyway this didn't take long to setup. I think most of the confusion is just around different naming conventions in Intellij ("project" vs "module"). So I now have my Android project in Intellij building, running and debugging fine. I decided to just download a fresh copy of eclipse CDT only for the C/C++ work and with just CDT it seems to be running fine. So far my experience in actually using the tool has been good, but I'm not sure it's all that much better than eclipse. It's definitely faster and more responsive, but also seems to use more RAM and I really miss the "perspectives" in eclipse (debugging in Intellij can mean you run out of screen real estate really fast. Double monitor would probably help here). Now that I'm running two IDEs (CDT for C++, Intellij for Java) I'm wondering whether I'd get a similar level of stability from running two separate eclipse instances.
I'm going to continue to use Intellij for a good amount of time to get over the initial learning curve on the tool itself. I'm wary about drawing conclusions that are more about learning how to use a hammer than whether the hammer works well.
