> I assume you're talking about Jetbrains IDEs here?
I've used or seen a few IDEs, and IntelliJ's Idea feels perfectly competent on every machine I've used, including a rather old Gateway where Android Studio runs slow as molasses, when it runs at all. I've often wondered how Google could take something as elegant and polished as Idea and turn it into Android Studio, a virtually unusable pile of garbage: a slow, clunky memory hog that breaks every time it updates. _Every blessed time!_ Whereas Idea's updates run smoothly every time. Maybe I've just been lucky with one and unlucky with t'other, but this experience holds up across more than one machine.
