Having the complete development environment in Linux in the same way as in Windows is already the best.

However, the possibility of adding important plugins such as AWS, Azure, Copilot, etc is a necessary option. All of them have a perfect integration and they are regularly updated to the latest version, which is much appreciated.

Particularly, the integration of Vue.js also gives you the possibility to develop frontends at the same time you develop the backend. In this case, Visual Studio Code has a little better integration, however, it is very slight.

The most valuable feature that I have found in the tool is the ability to easily connect to the database without problems, interruptions, and errors as they occur in some other well-known tools. Another one that I find valuable is the easiness that the debug mode offers me since it allows you to observe the variables in the route very clearly.

• Fast, and I never had a crash. (Had this in former versions of Eclipse, before I switched).
• Good support for refactoring.
• Good Integration with maven.
• Autocomplete is fine.
• Intuitive usage.
• Easy debugging.
• Many shortcuts.
• Good productivity, at least for me.
