You’re the first person I’ve ever heard to hate IntelliJ. I really like it as an editor and would use it if it was free (instead I use VSCode).
What do you dislike about IntelliJ?

IDEs should not punish you for knowing what you want to say and typing it quickly. They should be DETERMINISTIC, and you should get the EXACT same results no matter how many milliseconds of delay you wait between each keystroke, and you should always be able to insert something by typing it literally at any speed, without pausing and waiting then focusing your visual attention on the screen and then finally pressing other buttons to use the menus.
Turns out, Intellij’s “Actions on Save” are only triggered when a “Save All” (option-command-s) is issued, and ignores any other type of save like good-ole command-s.
Nowadays, given the state of LSP implementations and editors being as flexible as VSCode i.e it's hard to justify the need for an IDE... In general.
I usually use nvim or VSCode (if I collaborate with someone) for other languages. Every time I have to work on a Java project, and I have to open IntelliJ... I know it's going to be a nightmare.
It is weaker IDE in terms of what it does. Eclipse is older, look uglier and strictly superior unless you work on some kind of super large project where it is breaking.
