For those having a choice (a javascript editor for example?)
That's right. I can work with oe & eclipse. No wish for an intellij oe-plugin. But I'm more enthousiast about intellij. Just discovering it, I have never tried it before. The article is a good one though I find, it mentions important differences. But I'm not a specialist in this area, cannot give a thorough comparison myself of course, just wanted to mention the existence of an interesting competitor of eclipse.
Have to admin I’m not a big fan of keyword shortcuts (also a slow typer) so what is important for one doesn’t make me too enthusiastic… however, I do think it’s good alternatives exists (did used netbeans before eclipse).
It's for everyone to try out themselves. My impression was that is is a lot better than eclipse. Before I read the article and before knowing much shortcuts.
Certainly not a *new* competitor, though.
