- Very good
- Generally, it's very good - the refactoring etc - even if Kotlin's refactoring could usefully be beefed up with 'extract extension function' and 'move method to other class.
- Evil:
- IntelliJ is rife with modal dialogues
- They pop up tiled panels, but completely fail to flash them or otherwise draw the eye to them, so you can be trying to do something repeatedly and cursing at it, not noticing the quiet little panel in your peripheral vision because you're looking at something at the top of the frame.
- The terminal emulator is tantalisingly function enough to use, but rubbish in so many gotchyas.
- I always lose how to set the colour of the line numbers in the gutter.
- It's something that's apparently only available once you save a customised Colour Scheme.
- Or maybe not. Try without saving first.
- Preferences > Editor > Colour Scheme > General > Scheme: [Whatever...] (cog-menu) > Duplicate Theme
- Under the non-default Colour Scheme > General > Code > Line number and Line number on caret line
Various silly interpretations of this on Google translate - Latin gives Nearly New, New You, etc. Nova means 'does not go'; Teque is a non-word, but sounds like tech. Ahahaha, I am so witty. :) Many of these were found by colleagues; I may mark stuff I find myself as such.
