IntelliJ still has that Java GUI stench that made me stay away from Java over 15 years ago.

Ha! Every older point of sale software and every medical screen Seems to have that distinct java ui. Never liked it.

There are some pretty good theme options. Have a look at the material theme for example https://www.material-theme.com

It’s not just theming. Java GUI apps just don’t “feel” right. It’s like the uncanny valley of interfaces.

It feels less native than Electron apps.

I pay for Resharper every month. JetBrains makes excellent products. But I tried IntelliJ, I quickly went back to VSCode.
