I haven't used IntelliJ for the last 5 years or so, so I do not know how it is today. My remark here is not about IntelliJ, but a generally about GUIs.
A GUI can be responsive and fast even when doing a lot of work behind the scenes. I'm perfectly fine with it taking it's time figuring out what argument I can use, or something else. But do not drop percieved responsiveness - I want to be able to type and/or click menus at all times.
