I second that. A locked up Pharo IDE is infuriating. A dead/broken keyboard is proof of this.
I have been using Jetbrains IDEA for a while now and love the embedded terminal, the Ctrl-Tab for tools and Ctrl-f12 for jumping to a method + the shift shift global search (kind of spotter) that matches on like WCH which could find WebComponentHandler for example. And refactorings that cover a ton of situations neatly. Cool feature is also restart of a test when in the middle of debugging.
