I agree that total error checking is too much. But adding better checking for missing semi-colon & parenthesis would be great. Beyond that, I don't find very many errors, or they are somewhat infrequent, and having the compiler check them is fine.
I suppose for me it would be a time / bloat trade off. If IDEA can do this without the intellij guys spending a tremendous amount of time, or bloating IDEA such that I need to upgrade my computer to run it, then put as much in as you want.
