One of the major reasons I got iMac Core Duo was the Split Personality I was starting to develop having to chose between my most favorite "toys": PowerBook G4 and IntelliJ IDEA. While Mac is the only worthwhile computer, to me, and I really enjoy the mobility of a PowerBook, I have recently gotten addicted to IntelliJ\'s awesome Java IDE and can not imagine developing anything in Java without it.
The catch is - IntelliJ IDEA does not really work on a PowerBook G4. Let me be more specific: it is so slow, it is useless for any practical use. Now, whoever\'s fault it is - that\'s the fact and it was really poisoning my PowerBook experience.
Since I am a Java hacker, most of the time, you get an idea how serious my clinical condition was getting.
Long story told short - I have been using IntelliJ on my new iMac Core Duo, for a while now, and I am delighted. Works flawlessly and gives an absolute best experience for Java development. And, oh, yeah - I think I have less of Split Personality, now :)
