Good plugins and helpful templates with a useful auto-code suggestion feature
Eclipse's auto-code suggestion feature makes programming very easy and fast. Thanks to Eclipse, we can deliver fast and well-compiled code as it compiles the code on every hit which stops developers from writing bad code instantly. On top of this, we can integrate other software like Tomcat, and MySQL in Eclipse very easily which makes development even faster. Now, we can deploy our Java app directly into Tomcat from Eclipse itself which saves a lot of time in development. The same thing is true in MySQL. we can see data in Eclipse itself using SQL queries. There's no need to install a query browser application.

Long-term coding has benefited from intuitive UI and tools but now needs lighter performance
I am using the code completion feature in IntelliJ, and it helps me with my development processes. I use advanced debugging tools. The advanced debugging tools are useful for resolving code issues. The integration with version controls is seamless. GitHub is what I use. For my professional role, I need to use GitHub Enterprise, and the way it is set up in my enterprise, it does not allow linking it with IntelliJ. That is where I am stuck using the CLI. GitHub itself has a very robust CLI, so I have no complaints there. For personal use, GitHub integrates really well with IntelliJ. The UI is pretty good and very intuitive. I actually use the new UI which IntelliJ provides, and that is very intuitive and good.
